DISTRIBUTOR NEWS ...continued 01732 759725 06 BlockAPT aims to boost UK&I footprint with Exertis Cybersecurity Exertis Cybersecurity, a sub-division of Exertis Enterprise, is partnering with BlockAPT to bring the latter’s vendoragnostic, self-defending, autonomous cyber defence platform to its community of more than 1,000 channel partners across UK and Ireland. BlockAPT’s central management platform consolidates cybersecurity monitoring, automation, threat intelligence, incident response and policy enforcement into a single, centralised command, providing real-time, end-to-end visibility across an organisation’s entire security stack. Its vendor-agnostic orchestration engine integrates with over 80 leading security tools, giving IT teams and security professionals the power to automate repetitive processes, rapidly detect threats and respond to incidents in seconds, not hours. In addition, the platform’s Automated Configuration Migration (ACM) feature enables organisations to seamlessly migrate data, services, configurations and infrastructure in a few clicks, minimising down time and overcoming friction, risks and barriers when migrating from one cloud to multi-cloud or switching from one vendor to another. Dominic Ryles, Sales & Alliance Director at Exertis Cybersecurity, said: “We are thrilled to welcome BlockAPT to the Exertis Cybersecurity portfolio. Their platform brings exceptional innovation to the cyber risk space, allowing our partners to unlock faster, more intelligent security operations for their customers.” https://www.blockapt.com/ … TD SYNNEX helping partners get on-board with Cohesity and Arctera TD SYNNEX is offering partners access to Cohesity’s cloud-native data management, backup and recovery and security solutions after being appointed a UK distributor by the provider of AI-powered data security and management. Simon Bennett, Managing Director – Advanced Solutions, UK and Ireland at TD SYNNEX, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for our partners to engage with Cohesity, a world-leader in cloud data security. It will enable them to offer customers a dynamic and flexible way to manage, access and protect their data across hybrid and multicloud infrastructures. We are aligning resources and making focused investments to ensure that we are ready to bring partners on‑board with Cohesity and get them up to speed and taking solutions to market as quickly as possible.” He added that, following last year’s merger between Cohesity and Veritas and the addition of Veritas NetBackup and Alta Data Protection to Cohesity’s portfolio, TD SYNNEX would give partners with former Veritas solutions a smooth transition to the Cohesity channel programme. In addition to its partnership with Cohesity, TD SYNNEX is continuing to supply and support InfoScale and Backup Exec solutions that are now owned by Arctera, a separate business created at the time of the Cohesity, Veritas merger.

The solution is being launched in the US first followed by other regions. Its benefits include seamless end-to-end protection across physical, virtual, cloud and SaaS environments; flat pricing with no egress fees; stronger margins and a simplified sales motion for channel partners; and streamlined procurement and deployment through one order form, one invoice and one vendor relationship. https://uk.tdsynnex.com/ … Liferay now in AWS Marketplace Digital experience platform provider Liferay has launched the Liferay DXP in AWS Marketplace, enabling Amazon Web Services customers to streamline the purchase and management of Liferay within their AWS Marketplace account.
