Virtual Network Consult to Resell AlertBoot Disk Encryption

AlertBoot announced a partnership with Virtual Network Consult (VNC), a value-added distributor of commercial open source and cloud solutions. This relationship extends the company’s international footprint by allowing VNC to sell AlertBoot’s managed encryption solution to customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

"As cybercriminals continue to target sensitive corporate and customer information, encryption becomes an essential part of safeguarding business data," said Tim Maliyil, CEO of AlertBoot. "Organizations around the world are looking for data encryption solutions that protect against these threats without additional costs or resources. Through this partnership with VNC, AlertBoot provides customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa a scalable, highly secure hard disk encryption service that protects critical data without disrupting day-to-day operations."

VNC delivers commercial open source and cloud-based solutions from leading vendors. By partnering with AlertBoot, VNC is able to increase its suite of security offerings and position itself as a leading value-added distributor for commercial open source and cloud solutions. In addition, AlertBoot will offer VNC the same online deal registration, lead management tools and training and marketing materials used by AlertBoot’s inside sales team.

"The EMEA region has some of the world’s strictest security regulations and our customers demand cost-effective solutions that allow them to adhere to those standards," said Andrea Wörrlein, CEO of VNC. "Our partnership with AlertBoot not only provides our customers with a simple-to-use encryption solution that addresses compliance issues, it also empowers them to manage security without increasing costs."

With the company’s Corporate Channel Partnership program, resellers have access to tech support, which is managed by AlertBoot’s in-house team of encryption experts. Partners also receive customized URLs with purchase tracking (for calculating commissions), so they can easily drive leads to AlertBoot.com through email, embedded links or social media tools such as blogs, Facebook and Twitter.
