Westcon-Comstor has added AppViewX, a leader in automated machine identity management (MIM) and application infrastructure security, to its vendor portfolio.

With the quantum security market forecast to be worth US $9.8 billion by 2030, the partnership with AppViewX provides Westcon-Comstor’s partners and their customers with the crypto-agility to ensure security and compliance via certificate lifecycle management automation and Public Key Infrastructure as-a-Service (PKIaaS).

The distribution agreement covers the UK, Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) and DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) and is designed to address the growing complexity of application delivery infrastructure and security.

Based in the US, AppViewX partners with existing Westcon vendor F5 as a member of F5’s Technology Alliance Programme (TAP). F5 and AppViewX jointly promote enterprise application security and delivery solutions focused on managing applications and ensuring cybersecurity across on-premises, cloud and edge locations.

This new distribution agreement creates significant opportunities for channel partners to leverage the AVX ONE platform, combined with other key products of the Westcon portfolio, through the distributor’s 3D Lab. 3D Lab enables partners to access cutting edge, multi-vendor security solutions, testing against specific use cases in a dynamic virtual demo environment.

As part of the new agreement with AppViewX, Westcon will offer comprehensive support and training to its partners and end users, ensuring a seamless experience from deployment to ongoing maintenance and driving adoption of AppViewX solutions.

“This exciting partnership enables us to unleash the combined power and synergy of AppViewX and F5 for the benefit of partners and end-users in key markets,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Cybersecurity & Next-Generation Solutions at Westcon-Comstor. “By seamlessly integrating cutting-edge automation and orchestration capabilities with robust application delivery solutions, and driving adoption through education, enablement and other value-added services, we will create new opportunities while driving partner success and enhanced crypto agility.”

“This alliance with Westcon will ensure agility and resilience in a rapidly evolving digital landscape,” said Prabhakar Manickam, President and Chief Customer Officer at AppViewX. “With the increasing number of devices, applications, and threats, organisations struggle to keep their increasingly complex application delivery infrastructures agile, secure, and compliant. AppViewX and F5's joint solution, supported by Westcon, streamlines these challenges, providing a comprehensive approach to automation and security.”
