Sourcefire sparks up Unisys partnership

Security vendor extends global customer support through Unisys partnership

Systems integrator Unisys has signed an agreement to provide worldwide product warehousing, logistics and on-site installation services for security vendor Sourcefire’s customer base.

The partnership allows the open source enterprise threat management vendor to expand its global customer support agreement across Europe and the Asia Pacific.

Under the terms of the agreement Unisys will provide in-country warehousing for the vendor’s appliances, for next business day delivery on warranty replacements and on-site installation services.

Tom McDonough, president and chief operating officer at Sourcefire, said: “Throughout 2008, Sourcefire has reiterated our initiatives to expand sales and support worldwide, and this relationship solidifies the company’s focus on customer success and satisfaction.

“As we build Sourcefire into a worldwide presence to support the demand for our products, we are focusing considerable resources to ensure that customers around the globe receive the same high-level of support that Sourcefire has always provided in North America. Capitalising on Unisys global services delivery capabilities enables us to do that.”
