Exclusive Networks has formed a dedicated distribution partnership with NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, to provide highly secure, data-centric solutions to channel partners in the UK and Ireland.

The partnership comes at a time when data security is more essential than ever. The acceleration of AI has driven the need to protect data, rapidly increasing security investments across industries. In addition, data-centric approaches are no longer an option but a requirement for ransomware protection and data breach prevention. Data breach costs are dramatically impacting organisations too, as the cost of a breach now goes beyond fines and remediation.

As data security and cyber resilience become increasingly critical for today’s modern business operations, NetApp’s data infrastructure solutions will be a highly complementary addition to Exclusive Networks’ industry leading cybersecurity portfolio. NetApp will become its primary data infrastructure vendor for the UK and Ireland to provide the most secure data infrastructure on the planet.

“This collaboration brings together two great companies to create a fusion of world class data infrastructure and specialist cybersecurity solutions and expertise,” said Rob Tomlin, Managing Director of Exclusive Networks UK & Ireland. “We see data security and resilience as significant growth sectors and a key part of our cybersecurity strategy. NetApp became the obvious partner due to their best-in-class technology, channel first approach and strong technical integrations with many of our core cybersecurity vendors. NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure solutions are a strategic addition to our cybersecurity portfolio and align perfectly with our mission to provide trusted security across digital environments. Together, we are laser focussed on cybersecurity and committed to delivering a trusted, modern, and secure data infrastructure.”

The collaboration represents a unique opportunity for NetApp and Exclusive Networks to provide organisations with exceptional value, increasing the availability of cybersecurity solutions that protect critical data. While Exclusive Networks' portfolio includes advanced cyber resilience solutions, from today partners and customers will have access to NetApp’s top-rated data protection services. Today’s news builds on the cybersecurity success both businesses have achieved over recent years clearly demonstrating growth well above market expectations.

“Our collaboration with Exclusive Networks is a testament to NetApp’s commitment to deliver the most secure and resilient data infrastructure solutions available,” said Sonya Mathieu, Partner Leader for NetApp UK & Ireland. “While this leverages Exclusive Networks’ specialist cyber expertise and partner ecosystems, it will introduce NetApp’s intelligent data infrastructure to new customers, empowering businesses to navigate today’s complex security landscape with unmatched data protection and recovery capabilities.”
