Madge Announces Alliance Programme
Confirms D-Link as alliance partner
London: 6 April 2005 Madge, a leading supplier of
enterprise Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN) management and security
technology, today announced an alliance programme and confirmed that
D-Link, a global leader in the design and development of connectivity
and communications technologies, has signed as an alliance partner.
Under the terms, Madge and D-Link will co-market their complementary
WLAN and networking products, initially in Germany, to medium-sized
enterprise (SME) and corporate customers through their established
networks of channel partners.
Benefiting from multi vendor support capabilities, the Madge Enterprise
Access Server 2 may be deployed with D-Link DWL 2100AP access points,
to form a secure, scalable and manageable WLAN solution for enterprise
class deployments. The additional elements of D-Link’s wired
switching architecture and Madge’s Wireless Intrusion Prevention
system provides corporate customers and other organisations with a
very cost effective and secure option for rolling out enterprise wide
wireless LANs.
“The alliance programme will give us an enhanced reach into
existing markets and allow us to offer a new source of validated end
to end solutions to customers,” said Andy MacDonald, vice president
of worldwide sales for Madge. “Today’s announcement is
the first of many that we expect to arise from the programme.”
Madge plans to hold a series of workshops with its alliance partners
in the Spring to familiarise the channel with the benefits of the
programme.
