Distributor Computerlinks has added network monitoring vendor Gigamon to its burgeoning network, security and virtualisation portfolio.

The firm said it will work with the vendor to establish a wider partner and customer base for its network monitoring tools, which are sold in more than 40 countries.

Gigamon's products allow IT staff to track user activity, application performance and security threats across a company's entire network.

"This is a very fast-growing sector driven by customers' need to understand what's happening on their networks," said David Ellis (pictured), director of new technologies and services at Computerlinks.

Derek Jackman, vice president for EMEA at Gigamon, added: "With the addition of Computerlinks' global infrastructure, we will be able to increase incremental business to the European channel."
