Comstor Introduces Cisco WAAS Try & Buy Pilot Initiative for Resellers

CIRENCESTER, UK--(Marketwire - October 28, 2009) - Westcon Group, Inc., the leading specialty distributor in networking, convergence, security and mobility, announced that its Comstor UK division has successfully rolled out Cisco's WAAS Try & Buy Pilot Initiative.

Through the Cisco WAAS Try & Buy, resellers order demo equipment and receive technical help for qualification of opportunities and ongoing marketing support. Projects are pre-qualified via the Comstor technical team who then engage with the reseller to complete the specification; then either Comstor or the reseller installs the end user demo kit. Once installed, the current success rate is 85-90% conversion to purchase as long as the solution is qualified properly.

Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) is a comprehensive WAN optimisation solution that accelerates applications over the WAN, delivers video to the branch office, and provides local hosting of branch-office IT services. It allows IT departments to centralise applications and storage in the data center while maintaining LAN-like application performance. Typically this will help to improve productivity of remote employees, minimise branch IT costs and helps organisations to respond rapidly to changing business needs.

Tony Nevill, General Manager at Comstor UK, commented: "This is a typical example of how we are working with both Cisco and our partner community to provide value add services to help sell Cisco. We're working with a number of partners who have the right profile and appetite to grow their business with Cisco and Comstor and I'm pleased to see the success we're having already with the WAAS program."

Block Solutions, a Cisco Premier Partner, has already seen success with the program with its first deal. Through the program, it was able to differentiate from competitors by offering expert pre-sales advice. Comstor supported Block by providing WAAS equipment for a proof of concept exercise, without which they wouldn't have been able to close the deal. The project includes Cisco WAAS mobile, Cisco Ironport, ASAs and switches, and will primarily speed up the performance of their customer's trading solution.

Jon Pickering, Managing Director at Block Solutions, commented: "Block's technical team worked closely with the customer to correctly specify the Cisco WAAS solution and the customer wanted to see the products before making a decision. Comstor supported us by providing equipment for the proof of concept exercise. They had equipment available in the UK and got it to site within a few days. Comstor's quick reactions played a key role in helping us win the deal. In addition we undertook the customer pre-sales consultation with our WAAS expert, supported again by Comstor specialists from their technical support team, ensuring the solution was specified correctly."

Bernadette Wightman, Director for UK & Ireland Channels at Cisco, commented: "We're seeing more demand for WAAS and Data Centre solutions as companies look for better performance with applications deployed across the WAN. Consolidation of an organisation's infrastructure can provide many cost benefits and a simpler management process, but accelerated applications are critical in making this work. To create this reality, Comstor is helping drive the market by making it easier for the reseller to do business with Cisco."

Comstor UK Introduces New Development Programme and Technology Centre Resource for Resellers of HP ProCurve Products

CIRENCESTER, UK--(Marketwire - January 5, 2010) - Comstor UK has announced a range of unique channel initiatives to expand on its successful introduction of the HP ProCurve Networking portfolio to its reseller customer base. These initiatives consist of innovative offerings such as personalized training and a dedicated technology centre focused on HP ProCurve.

The "Preferred Partner FastTrack" and Technology Centre have been designed to help selected resellers deliver a focused enablement programme along with a robust technical capability and lab support. These resources are in addition to the standard training and support tools that Comstor and HP ProCurve already provide.

Preferred Partner FastTrack

This training program provides select resellers with highly-specialised training to become Select Certified with the HP ProCurve product line. The programme is tailored individually to a reseller's requirements and resellers can benefit from:

-- Free training and exams to meet HP ProCurve requirements -- Mentoring to complete business planning and profiling -- Individual sales training and focus days -- Marketing support including personalised collateral and dedicated telemarketing

Comstor Technology Centre

This sophisticated, hands-on lab environment has been equipped with HP ProCurve's networking portfolio, and provides a unique, free service to select resellers. Engineers can use the lab for proof-of-concept and hands-on familiarisation sessions -- with or without the support of Comstor's team of HP ProCurve-accredited engineers. Additionally, resellers are able to bring customers into the lab to demonstrate equipment and set up replica scenarios of existing and potential systems.

Comstor has a fully-accredited HP ProCurve technical team in the UK, who is available for demonstrations as well as installations and pre-sales support. Comstor also provides in-house seminar and training resources for hospitality and meeting purposes -- which can be leveraged for end-user focused events and demonstrations for resellers.

Pete Massey, Senior Network Engineer of PDS Communications Ltd., commented: "Comstor and HP ProCurve's support and programmes give us exactly what we need to pursue new business opportunities -- from proof of concept all the way through integration and training. The technical support and training aspect is vital and that is where Comstor and HP ProCurve excel."

"HP ProCurve represents an enormous opportunity for Comstor and our Resellers," said Tony Nevill, General Manager of Comstor UK. "We are committed to growing this area of our business and further developing our support tools and enablement programmes to generate greater opportunity."

Darryl Brick, UK and Ireland country manager for HP ProCurve added: "We chose to work with Comstor because they can offer industry leading technical support and growth platforms for our new partners. This has been justified by the Preferred Partner FastTrack and Comstor Technology Centre and the benefits they bring to resellers."
