Partnership with leading network solutions provider extends Fortinet's reach in Vietnam
HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, February 23, 2007
- Fortinet - the pioneer and leading provider of unified threat management (UTM) solutions -
today announced Tech Horizon has signed a strategic partnership agreement to distribute Fortinet's suite of market-leading network security solutions, including FortiGate™ UTM platforms, FortiManager™, FortiAnalyzer™ and FortiMail™ systems. This partnership with a major technology distributor and system integrator extends Fortinet's sales reach into the Vietnamese market.
Opportunities in Vietnam
Vietnam has a fast-growing economy, boosted recently by its acceptance into the WTO in November last year. The information and communications technology sectors are expected to see exponential growth in the coming months and years, as Vietnam's businesses install networks and connect to the outside world. Current network threats, such as Trojans, viruses, worms and spyware mean that the market for security products and solutions will correspondingly increase. Fortinet's suite of security products, which secure the full range of data assets in any business, from desktop and notebook computers to servers and mobile devices, as well as provide centralized monitoring and management capabilities, are ideally suited for businesses in a country that is fast developing its technology infrastructure.
"We believe that Fortinet will become a leading player in the local network security market because of the superior performance and features, and competitive pricing of its FortiGate UTM systems, as well as its complete suite of security products," said Mr. Tran Quoc Trung, Sales Director at Tech Horizon. "We are delighted with this partnership and look forward to a long and mutually-rewarding relationship with Fortinet."
"We selected Tech Horizon as a key distribution partner based on its list of distinguished customers, which include Vietnam's Post Telegraph and Telephone, as well as its technical expertise in networking projects," said Jens Andreassen, Vice President of Asia-Pacific for Fortinet, Inc. "As more Vietnamese businesses install networks and connect to the Internet, we want them to think of Fortinet first, for their security needs."
