Interactive signs deal to build NetFort

Distributor signs partnership with network monitoring vendor to help it grow UK and Ireland footprint

Interactive Ideas has signed a UK and Ireland distribution agreement with NetFort to help it strengthen its footprint in the region.

Under the terms of the deal, NetFort will help the Ireland-based network monitoring software vendor build demand for its products and recruit new channel partners.

Mike Trup (pictured), managing director of Interactive Ideas, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with NetFort to assist them and their reseller channel in gaining new customers.

“Internet and network usage, and the associated bandwidth issues, are factors affecting organisations of all sizes. Most companies have little idea of why or who is causing the issues.

“With NetFort LANGuardian, companies can now identify the problem areas and take action to ensure a consistent service is maintained. For networking resellers, adding NetFort to their solution enables them to offer total network visibility monitoring devices and network usage, allowing them to revisit existing customers and build new revenue.”

John Brosnan, chief executive of NetFort, said: “We are delighted to begin our partnership with Interactive Ideas. With their reach, sales experience and technical expertise, they are the obvious choice to help us expand our customer base.

“This partnership presents an exciting opportunity for both companies. We look forward to introducing a new generation of customers to the power and simplicity of traffic-based network monitoring.”
