Westcon-Comstor has extended its collaboration with Splunk to EMEA, in an agreement that will create growth opportunities for partners across the region, harnessing Comstor’s expertise across Splunk and Cisco.
The technology distributor’s Comstor arm has secured EMEA distribution rights for Splunk, and in joining the Splunk and Cisco distribution community in the EMEA region, Comstor is building on its nearly three decades-old relationship with Cisco.
The agreement with Splunk, which follows Splunk’s recent acquisition by Cisco, will see Comstor use the two combined brands to unlock new growth opportunities for channel partners.
Comstor will use its expertise in both the Cisco and Splunk portfolios to provide onboarding and scaling activities as part of its value-added services, unlocking new growth opportunities for partners.
Cisco partners in EMEA will be able to access a Splunk portfolio for select Cisco customers via Comstor on a subscription basis, in line with existing purchase and consumption models.
Existing Splunk partners gain the ability to deploy and sell leading Cisco solutions including AppDynamics and ThousandEyes.
The EMEA distribution agreement builds on an existing collaboration between Comstor and Splunk in Asia-Pacific.
Willem de Haan, Executive Vice President, Comstor Europe and Comstor International at Westcon-Comstor (pictured) said: “Comstor is equipped to enable partners to take advantage of the opportunities presented by this agreement, and we will use our Cisco and Splunk expertise to drive accelerated growth across the region.”
