Sipera Systems, provider of real-time Unified Communications (News - Alert) (UC) security, has introduced its Sipera Partner Network designed to provide technology partners, distributors and resellers with an opportunity to add VoIP and UC security to new and existing implementations.

 

Sipera's comprehensive, real-time UC security solutions seamlessly interoperate with systems developed by key VoIP infrastructure vendors, including Avaya, Cisco (News - Alert) and Nortel. This upfront compliance reduces unexpected issues during implementation and allows partners to quickly and cost- effectively go to market with industry leading UC security appliances.

 

"As more enterprises deploy VoIP and UC, we anticipate an increase in both security awareness and emerging threats. With access to Sipera products and VIPER Lab, we can ensure our customers stay ahead of vulnerabilities inherent in these networks, and proactively safeguard critical business communications," said Jeff Graham, CTO at Shared Technologies (News - Alert). "By providing this security as part of a UC deployment, we can better support our customers and generate new revenues in the process."

 

Sipera Partner Network members will be able to leverage specialized VoIP and UC security training, sales leads, marketing collateral, technical support and bulletins and streamlined order and fulfillment. Sipera distribution partners include Westcon, while Belltech, INSI, Paranet, Shared Technologies and Vigilar are reseller partners.

 

"These partnerships are critical to customers' networks so we developed a partner program that focused on their VoIP/UC needs beyond deployments and normal operations," said Eric Winsborrow (News - Alert), Chief Marketing Officer for Sipera. "We expect partners' customers will embrace our products along with partners' support, and that new partners will likewise welcome adding this expertise to their portfolios."

 

The Sipera IPCS solutions offer partners a range of security functionalities including threat protection, policy enforcement, access control and privacy in a single device. The product family covers four appliances supporting 200 to 50,000 users with throughput from 10 Mbps to 2 Gbps.
