By Divya Narain, TMCnet Contributor
Tarrytown, N.Y- based Westcon Group, Inc. today announced that its business unit Comstor (News - Alert) has introduced a new program for its network of Cisco resellers. The program, called OneNetwork, will act as a gateway for the resellers to Comstor’s other advanced technology acceleration programs such as OneVoice, OneDefense and OneWave in addition to its vertical market programs such as Westcon Healthcare, Westcon Public Sector and Westcon Federal.
OneNetwork offers a range of other valuable resources and updates for Cisco (News - Alert) resellers. The portal will help the resellers stay abreast with evolving technologies such as convergence, security and unified communications, as well as the core networking infrastructure.
“We continue to invest heavily in our Comstor business across the globe,” said Duncan Potter, chief marketing officer, Westcon Group (News - Alert), in a statement. “OneNetwork consolidates the strengths of our existing solutions programs, while adding information about the fundamental components of a network backbone—such as routers and switches. This program represents the evolution of our Cisco focused programs to a single solutions platform—no matter where our Cisco customers are in the world.”
“Comstor’s solution programs have established a very strong reputation among Cisco customers all around the world,” said Dave O’Callaghan, vice president of worldwide channels distribution at Cisco, in a statement. “Programs such as OneNetwork have the ability to bring tremendous value to the reseller community—especially when it comes to educating and introducing new solutions to the reseller channel.”
