UK regional sales manager Dan Buckley claimed A10’s entry-level product could match the performance of a rival’s offering costing five times as much. He added he wanted to recruit up to 15 UK partners.

Todd Kleppe, senior director of global operations, expressed his pleasure at bagging VADition to help build the UK channel.
“We are delighted to have it as a partner,” he said. “In our space, VADition is opinion leader in the UK market.”
