Mindware Unveils New Strategic Cloud Offering for Digital Transformation Built on Microsoft and Riverbed PlatformsMindware, a leading distributor of quality IT products to the Middle East and North Africa, today launched a new offering designed to simplify Microsoft Azure cloud adoption and accelerate performance to users everywhere through the integration of digital performance solutions from Riverbed (News - Alert). Responding to the challenges regional organizations face with the adoption and migration of services to the cloud, the service will be available to customers in the UAE, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain during the initial rollout. LinkedIn (News - Alert): Mindware unveils new strategic cloud offering for digital transformation built on Microsoft and Riverbed platforms: https://rvbd.ly/2KARTqx "The use of cloud technology is on the rise in today's digital world, as businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the tangible benefits cloud computing provides in terms of agility, efficiency and profitability," said Nicholas Argyrides, Deputy GM at Mindware. "However, migrating and hosting services in the cloud is a process fraught with numerous challenges, from the lack of visibility into traffic, to loss of control over application delivery and performance across the hybrid WAN." Mindware's latest cloud innovation enables value-added resellers and cloud solution providers to offer their end customers a globally orchestrated and optimized connection to the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform. The new offering will leverage Riverbed's Digital Experience Management solution for end-user experience monitoring and Next-Generation Infrastructure including Riverbed® SteelConnect™, a Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) solution and Riverbed® SteelHead™ for hybrid WAN optimization. "The seamless combination of Riverbed Digital Performance and Microsoft Azure Cloud solutions results in a unique level of end-to-end visibility, secure cloud connectivity, network control and optimized performance for cloud-hosted applications. We see this as a service that all industry verticals can benefit from since the use of public and hybrid clouds is rapidly becoming a mainstream IT practice across the Middle East," Argyrides added. As a long standing partner of both Microsoft and Riverbed, Mindware will work closely with its value-added resellers to deliver the training and support they need on these vendor's platforms to take the solution bundles to market. Through Mindware's network of Microsoft cloud specialist partners, customers will be able to benefit from highly qualified Professional Services teams. "The future of the cloud is hybrid and adoption in the Middle East is currently dominated by software-as-a-service offerings," explained Mena Migally, Regional Director, Territory and Telco for Middle East, Turkey and North Africa, at Riverbed. "While SaaS simplifies cloud migration, many organizations require the ability to combine the customization and control of their own applications with the flexibility and scalability of the cloud. By combining the Infrastructure-as-a-Service from the global leader in the field, with Riverbed's innovative SD-WAN solution and market-leading performance optimization and Digital Experience Management visibility solutions, Mindware is delivering a compelling offering that will set customers on track for hybrid cloud success and to maximize digital performance." This latest announcement builds on Mindware's focus on cloud services having previously launched a cloud marketplace for its Middle East and Africa partners providing an extensive array of subscription-based offerings, all conveniently aggregated on an online management tool.
