Aruba...fantastic,” says DiLullo.

Gartner recently released a critical capabilities report on wireless that put Aruba at the head of the pack when it comes to four out of five wireless capabilities. “I’ve got four aces and a king,” says DiLullo, “When potential customers see numbers like that, it is easy to see that we are a vendor that deserves consideration.”

Aruba is striving to be the biggest little company on the landscape. It may be one of the most successful company’s in history, but Aruba is still providing personalised service and a face-to-face presence. “We want to be sure that our customers can reach out and find us,” says DiLullo. Will we find Aruba at Gitex next year? DiLullo is confident they will be a presence here for years to come.

Silver Peak takes first Gitex steps

Silver Peak is relishing the prospect of completing its first GITEX Technology Week. The WAN optimisation firm is very pleased with the way its first outing has gone, and feels the event is a fantastic stepping stone for building a regional footprint.

“In the Middle East it’s very important that people know your company name; the main idea is to really have a presence,” says Bhaskar Peruri, Regional Sales Manager, Silver Peak. “We want to show that we are keen to invest in the region and that we eventually want to expand to other regions.”

The company has recently launched its Unity fabric, which unifies the enterprise network with the Internet and public cloud, and is designed to optimise cloud applications.

In keeping SaaS and IaaS traffic on Unity, organisations can monitor and control connectivity to the cloud while ensuring consistent SaaS performance.

Peruri believes that WAN is

becoming an increasingly vital technology, and Silver Peak is in pole position to capitalise on the growing market, “WAN use is becoming increasingly common,” he says. “Normally, backup and replication processes take around four hours, but we are able to speed up these processes so they take much less time.

The company used GITEX to announce that it had saved the National Bank of Abu Dhabi $200,000 per month through its WAN optimisation.

Looking forward, Peruri believes “cloud SaaS and IaaS providers” become the company’s main focus. “In two years’ time we’ll still be focused on WAN optimisation,” he says.

Etisalat has announced its strategic partnership with Ajman Free Zone on the sidelines of GITEX Technology Week 2014, to provide an improved telecom and ICT service experience to customers of Ajman Free Zone Authority (AFZA).

The Memorandum of

Understanding (MoU) was signed by Etisalat’s Senior Vice President of Small and Medium Businesses, John Lincoln, and H.E. Mahmoud Khalil Al Hashimi, General Manager of Ajman Free Zone Authority.

The strategic partnership falls in line with the UAE’s goal to

become a leading business hub. It will make it convenient and easy for businesses to set up in the UAE. Importantly, it will enable business connectivity, and increase competitiveness of small and medium sized businesses, helping place UAE high on the IT readiness and competitiveness index.

“Small and medium businesses, especially startups fuel the economic engine of a nation. Etisalat is the ideal partner of choice for this segment in the UAE and we are committed to making the telecom and ICT connectivity a seamless experience for our business customers. We are particularly excited about our deal with Ajman Free Zone. It gives us the opportunity to join hands with them to cater to investor and business

The company has recently extended the partnership with Barco to cover meeting room projectors series, which are being

showcased at the event for the first time. The company has over 10 vendors sharing its stand at the show. Parmar says, “There are multiple things we look forward to such as awareness as a key player in the industry and it is a good platform for us to meet up with all our vendors and key partners in the same arena. As a VAD, the relationship with all our partners is very important and the key executives of our partners are visiting us, which makes it easier.”

Ocedo enters SDN market

The German networking company Ocedo has announced its entry in the fast growing software defined networking (SDN) market during GITEX Technology Week. Networks engineered using SDN technologies benefit

from increased agility, speed, scalability, and lower capital and operating costs. Ocedo is uniquely focused on bringing these SDN benefits to distributed enterprise networks specifically for mid-sized companies.

The solution developed by Ocedo offers a complete, integrated range of cloud managed and SDN enabled network equipment to connect wired, wireless and wide-area networks. The Ocedo System enables IT departments and MSPs to roll-out entire networks remotely from the cloud, track network activity in a “single pane of glass”, and provision network configuration changes in real time.

“SDN is ready to move beyond

the data center and provide innovation in distributed enterprise networks,” said Jan Hichert, Ocedo CEO. “Ocedo’s focus is on making networking radically simpler for today’s agile, growing organizations.”

The Ocedo System is made available through a strong partner network – a model the founders already successfully implemented with their previous company enabling system integrators and managed service providers to enhance their business offering for their customers. It will free resources for these partners through the efficiency gains from SDN network management and enable them to grow their business.
