Cohort flies into the cloud

Distributor gets in on the cloud computing frenzy by launching its own range of offerings

Value added distributor Cohort Technology is beefing up its partner support with the launch of a cloud computing offering.

Cohort Cloud is comprised of a range of offerings including disk encryption, mail encryption and archiving, network access control and firewall.

The services will be offered to resellers on a per-user, pay-as-you-grow basis.

Grahame Smee, managing director of Cohort Technology, said: “We have always focused on providing a leading range of services for our partners and the launch of Cohort Cloud is a further enhancement to our portfolio.

“If you add this to our training, installation and technical capabilities, we are offering all our partners an easy entry into this exciting and margin-rich area. Our strong partnerships with our vendor partners gives us the ability to combine our sales expertise with our support skills, as well as giving partners and end users the peace of mind associated with direct vendor support.”
