Citrix has appointed Config as its second Value Added Distributor (VAD) in Francophone Africa. As demand for virtualisation, mobility management, networking and cloud services in the region continues to grow rapidly, Config will distribute all Citrix solutions, including network optimisation technologies, to resellers across the region to ensure organisations have the correct infrastructure in place to support the surge in demand for virtual and mobile workspaces.
“We have experienced tremendous growth in the past twelve months, particularly in the areas of network optimisation and desktop virtualisation. Config’s appointment as a second distributor is an important step to help resellers capitalise on this demand. Further, its expertise in network infrastructure and optimisation will prove to be of benefit to the reseller community across Francophone Africa,” said Noman Qadir, Director, Channels, Middle East and Africa, Citrix.
“We have been consistently focusing on creating programs and support mechanisms that accelerate the business of our partners, supporting resellers with senior level, experienced management teams located across the region. Config is uniquely qualified to deliver and integrate complex technologies,” says Zouhir El Kamel, General Manager, Config. “This appointment is testament to Config’s solid skills and experience in the region and we welcome the addition of the Citrix solution-set to our brand portfolio.”
As a VAD, Config will distribute the full range of Citrix products and solutions across Francophone Africa, including Citrix XenDesktop, XenApp, XenMobile, NetScaler and CloudBridge. The latter are integral to ensuring optimal load balancing and network optimisation as organisations look to deploy enterprise mobility solutions.
