Gigamon Inks Strategic Partnership with TD SYNNEX, To Enable Channel Partners to Better Secure and Manage their Customers' Hybrid Cloud Infrastructure

Gigamon Inks Strategic Partnership with TD SYNNEX

Gigamon, the leading deep observability company, signed a strategic partnership with TD SYNNEX, a leading global distributor and solutions aggregator for the IT ecosystem, in North America. TD SYNNEX joins the Gigamon Catalyst Partner Program further expanding the reach of Gigamon and helping to meet the demand for deep observability solutions that enable enterprise IT organizations to better manage and secure hybrid cloud infrastructure.

Through TD SYNNEX’s diverse portfolio of vendors, resellers, and professional service offerings, Gigamon continues to scale its business and channel partner ecosystem. In turn, TD SYNNEX will gain access to new sales tools, marketing resources, and training to support enterprise sales of Gigamon solutions and services, expanding TD SYNNEX’s portfolio of hybrid cloud infrastructure security and management solutions.

With nearly one-third of security breaches going undetected by IT and security professionals, it is now more important than ever that cloud security teams are equipped with deep observability solutions, such as the Gigamon Deep Observability Pipeline, so they can detect previously concealed threat activity. As the demand for deep observability increases and the market continues to expand – forecasted to reach $2B by 2026 — Gigamon has emerged as the definitive market leader with 71 percent market share in 2022.

“TD SYNNEX is committed to uniting IT solutions that deliver business outcomes today and unlock growth for the future,” said Jessica McDowell, SVP Business Development and Security, TD SYNNEX. “With Gigamon added to our vast portfolio of vendor partners, we're able to enrich the breadth and depth of our security offerings so customers can do great things with technology.”

Partnering Up for AI Success: AWS Drops Hints About Program Evolution

Amazon Web Services | September 06, 2023

AWS discreetly hints at upcoming changes within its partner program framework, particularly in AI and partner engagement initiatives. Partners can expect three critical components in upcoming partner programs: Generative AI, partner collaboration, and Marketplace enhancements. AWS approaches generative AI differently from other Amazon divisions, focusing on a corporate perspective. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is reorganizing its current partner programs, hinting at forthcoming changes related to generative artificial intelligence (AI) and collaborative partnerships among its associates. Partners can look forward to three key elements that are expected to be integrated into the partner programs later this year – the incorporation of generative artificial intelligence, increased collaboration among partners, and improvements to the Marketplace. The forthcoming announcements will address many of these subjects, stemming from the consistent inquiries posed by partners to the cloud industry leader. AWS will approach generative AI with a distinct perspective compared to other aspects of the Amazon enterprise, as it examines this technology from a corporate rather than a consumer standpoint. AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Channels and Alliances Jeff Kratz stated, "Our approach is to democratize and have the broadest and deepest solution set, so that depending on what the customer needs, the partner can fulfill it." AWS has been actively involved in discussions with its partners, gathering valuable input on safeguarding intellectual property and harnessing the capabilities of large language models. Additionally, the company has emphasized the increasing enthusiasm among its partners for nurturing collaborative relationships within the partner ecosystem. Instead of solely pursuing individual endeavors, these partners seek opportunities for strategic partnerships, aligning with AWS's commitment to supporting channel partners as they transition toward managing and reselling managed services. Another crucial component is AWS Marketplace, a platform currently undergoing substantial investment by the cloud giant and designed to serve independent software vendors (ISVs). Nevertheless, AWS acknowledges the potential for systems integrators (SIs) to thrive within this ecosystem. AWS remains committed to significant ongoing investments in the AWS Marketplace, fostering an environment where ISVs can effectively showcase and expand their solutions both on a global and domestic scale. Moreover, it recognizes the opportunity for SIs who wish to offer private marketplace solutions while actively supporting such endeavors.
