Market Wire, July, 2009

Westcon Group, Inc., the leading specialty distributor in networking, convergence, security and mobility, announced that its Comstor business unit has launched OneNetwork . OneNetwork, the latest program offered to Comstor's established, global base of Cisco resellers, serves as a gateway to Comstor's other advanced technology acceleration programs such as OneVoice , OneDefense and OneWave as well as its vertical market programs such as Westcon Healthcare , Westcon Public Sector and Westcon Federal .

OneNetwork also contains tools and resources related specifically to Cisco solutions -- including networking, voice and unified communications, security and mobility as well as information on key Cisco vertical target markets including education, healthcare, energy and utilities, government and finance. In addition, the solutions portal includes updates about Cisco that concern the reseller community.

To remain competitive in today's networking communications market, resellers need to stay informed and educated on a diverse set of constantly evolving technologies such as convergence, security and unified communications, as well as the core networking infrastructure. OneNetwork serves as the portal to all of Comstor's advanced technology acceleration programs and vertical market sites, while containing robust knowledge base for resellers selling network infrastructure solutions.

"We continue to invest heavily in our Comstor business across the globe," commented Duncan Potter, chief marketing officer, Westcon Group. "OneNetwork consolidates the strengths of our existing solutions programs, while adding information about the fundamental components of a network backbone -- such as routers and switches. This program represents the evolution of our Cisco focused programs to a single solutions platform -- no matter where our Cisco customers are in the world."

"Comstor's solution programs have established a very strong reputation among Cisco customers all around the world," commented Dave O'Callaghan, vice president of worldwide channels distribution at Cisco. "Programs such as OneNetwork have the ability to bring tremendous value to the reseller community -- especially when it comes to educating and introducing new solutions to the reseller channel."

"With Comstor's OneNetwork program, we can easily find information about any of Cisco's advanced technology offerings -- and more importantly, how to position these solutions in an increasingly competitive marketplace," commented Justin Burleigh, PMP - manager of operations of Tempe, AZ-based Network Infrastructure Corporation. "In a time of shifting business priorities and changing customer needs, Comstor redefines true partnership. To put it simply, they get it."
