Partner Opportunity
The big opportunity is for partners to bring the full portfolio to their customers so that no matter where their customers want to start their journey, whether its around remote work or holistic branch transformation, this is now a single portfolio that will allow them to say yes to customers no matter where they want to start journey. It‘s cloud-first for both companies; it’s very customer-focused in terms of the culture -- we’re both very technology and innovation-driven, and it will now cover the entire spectrum. Partners can really help meet any customer needs at any entry point and we think that’s a big benefit for our partners and our mutual end customers.
Silver Peak is more penetrated in the North American market than in the Asian and European markets and we definitely expect this to be a huge opportunity for Aruba‘s partners in EMEA and APAC to bring Silver Peak as a world-class SD-WAN solution in a way Silver Peak wouldn’t have been able to do as quickly before.
