Networks has claimed channel partners will benefit from its acquisition of
virtualisation vendor
Acopia.
The deal, expected to close in September, will see F5 use Acopia technology to
make applications available to end-users, regardless of their location. However,
the vendor said until the deal closes there will be no change for its channel
partners.
"It would be premature to talk of what might happen," said Sara Buttle,
marketing director at F5 Networks for EMEA. "Acopia has some large customers,
but is not well entrenched in the UK channel. Acopia has the right technology to
help F5 improve availability and performance and F5 is well established in the
UK channel.
At the right time, we will talk to our partners about continuing to work
together and focus on breaking down the gaps between customer network and
storage teams," she said.
