UK channel partners will gain access to HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking alongside technical, enablement and lifecycle services from Infinigate.
HPE has appointed Infinigate UK as a specialist value-added distributor for its networking portfolio, expanding the options available to UK channel partners delivering secure and AI-driven networking solutions.
The agreement gives resellers and managed service providers access to the combined HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking portfolio through Infinigate’ s distribution, technical support and partner services.
Infinigate was selected for its experience in value-added distribution, UK channel reach and focus on AI networking and security. The distributor already has experience supporting Juniper Networks, now HPE Juniper Networking, across enterprise networking, secure connectivity, cloud-managed networking and AIdriven network operations.
Charlie Tunley, Channel and Partner Ecosystem Director, UKIMEA at HPE, said:“ Infinigate’ s networking and security expertise, combined with its partner-first approach and strong UK channel track record, makes it an important specialist distributor for HPE Networking. Together, we’ re making it easier for UK partners to access our combined capabilities and deliver AI-native, resilient networks that improve security, operational efficiency and customer outcomes.”
Infinigate will provide partners with logistics, professional and lifecycle services, enablement and pre- and post-sales support. The distributor said these capabilities will help partners build technical expertise and deliver HPE Networking technologies across customer environments.
Justin Griffiths, RVP UKI and ANZ at Infinigate, said:“ This expanded collaboration creates a compelling growth opportunity for Infinigate and our channel partners. By combining our channel expertise with HPE’ s innovation, we can help partners enable customers to realise the value of AI-driven, self-managing networks – accelerating transformation and simplifying operations.”
Mindware partners with Veeam to expand data resilience solutions across Middle East and Africa
Mindware, a value-added distributor( VAD) in the Middle East and Africa, has announced a strategic partnership with Veeam Software, a provider of data resilience solutions. Mindware has been appointed as a value-added distributor for Veeam across the Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt and Libya.
The partnership will combine Veeam’ s data resilience capabilities with Mindware’ s regional channel network, technical expertise, market presence, partner ecosystem and cloud capabilities. The companies will work with channel partners to help organisations protect critical data and applications, recover from disruption and maintain business continuity.
Organisations across the region are facing increasing pressure to strengthen data resilience as ransomware and cyberattacks become more sophisticated, cloud and SaaS adoption increases, regulatory requirements evolve and AI is adopted across business processes.
The partnership will enable Mindware’ s channel partners to deliver Veeam solutions across industries and organisation sizes, including enterprises, SMBs, government entities, healthcare organisations and financial institutions.
Mindware will provide training, certification, sales and technical enablement, marketing, proof-of-concepts, workshops, technical support and partner incentives. It will also offer professional and technical services around Veeam.
“ Data resilience has moved well beyond being an IT priority; it is now fundamental to business continuity, risk management and Digital Transformation. Across our markets, organisations are adopting cloud and AI at an unprecedented pace, while many are still working to establish the governance, visibility and resilience needed to trust AIpowered systems at scale. Customers increasingly recognise that AI is only as reliable as the data behind it,” said Nicholas Argyrides, VP Gulf & East Africa at Mindware.
