Exertis Enterprise, the UK’s leading dedicated value-added distributor, today announced that it has expanded its partnership agreement with Progress, the trusted provider of infrastructure software, to extend the coverage of Progress’ leading NetSecOps products in the UK.
Through this expansion, Exertis Enterprise will have increased access to customer-valued Progress® WhatsUp® Gold IT infrastructure monitoring software and Progress® Flowmon® network visibility and security solution, after having previously offered Progress® Kemp® LoadMaster® load balancer for many years. Today’s network and system admins are required to monitor everything connected to each network and fix problems before they impact end-users. Progress’ sophisticated alerting and reporting capabilities ensures the availability and security of customers’ applications and websites, while allowing them to scale as their workloads change. Its software can also quickly expose ransomware and attacks against mission-critical applications, gain insight into network traffic, and confidently resolve network performance issues.
Progress’ reputation makes it the ideal choice to offer to our customers
The Progress portfolio offered through Exertis Enterprise includes the following products:
• WhatsUp Gold: A unified, powerful and easy-to-use IT infrastructure monitoring solution that helps IT staff proactively find and fix problems fast while providing outstanding value in both time and cost savings. Customers have an at-a-glance dashboard and an interactive map for visibility into the status and performance of networks, servers, storage devices, network traffic, device configurations and applications across on-premises and in the cloud with a single network interface.
• Flowmon: A comprehensive network security and visibility solution with automated response across hybrid cloud ecosystems.
• Kemp LoadMaster: Flexible application delivery and security solutions offering cloud-native, virtual and hardware load balancers.
Dominic Ryles, Director of Sales & Commercial – Security at Exertis Enterprise, said: “We’re excited to extend our Progress portfolio, and we are looking forward to providing new and existing partners with access to its world-class infrastructure solutions. Progress strengthens our security portfolio, and the two new additions, Flowmon and WhatsUp Gold, gives us the opportunity to better service our partners and their customers with Network Detection & Response (NDR) services and Observability and Monitoring tools, in order to defend against the emerging threats which we see in the landscape. Progress’ reputation makes it the ideal choice to offer to our customers – its flexibility, ease of installation, and user-friendly features will benefit many customers’ setups.”
