Ipswitch File Transfer & StarLink join forces across the Middle East to move valuable customer data
Partnership signed with the developers of WS_FTP, and a Leader of MFT in the StarLink Head Office in Dubai
Dubai, UAE June 18th, 2012 – StarLink, a leading security-specialized Value Added Distributor in the Middle East, announced today their Master Distribution agreement with Ipswitch File Transfer, a leader in Managed File Transfer.
“As more and more companies decide that FTP is no longer appropriate for secure file transfer, MFT is today perceived as a necessity, and no longer an option” said Nidal Othman, Managing Director at StarLink. “This shift is due to increased focus on compliance, privacy regulations and corporate transparency, which demand increased auditing, management, security and process. Ipswitch leads the market with innovative MFT technology that will allow StarLink to work collaboratively with customers in the Middle East to realize their full data transmission potential.”
“We are pleased to announce our partnership with StarLink, a recognized master distributor in the Middle East. This partnership is a significant component of our channel expansion strategy. We are committed to working with StarLink to expand our partner base, and together, provide our partners with the support they need to deliver security solutions to protect customers’ critical information.” added Loic Triger, Vice President of International Sales, Ipswitch File Transfer.
