Bradford Networks' UK Partner Named CRN Specialist Reseller Of The Year
Bradford Networks, a leading provider of comprehensive network access control (NAC) solutions, announced that Khipu Networks Limited, its United Kingdom reseller, was named Specialist Reseller of the Year in CRN's Channel Awards last month.
Khipu won the award for its focus in education and tremendous success with Campus Manager, Bradford's out-of-band NAC solution that leverage existing network infrastructure to secure network integrity while automating the process of providing access anytime. The 14th annual CRN Channel Awards, from UK's leading weekly channel and reseller publication, are based on a combination of reader input and evaluations by CRN judges.
"Bradford's Campus Manager product line and superior technical support provided us with a comprehensive NAC solution that delivers the identity management, endpoint compliance, and network usage policy enforcement required by educational institutions," said Matt Ashman, Khipu's Commercial Manager. "The dynamic nature of campus environments require a single solution for wired, wireless, and VPN connections."
Khipu's clients include University of Nottingham, Durham University, University of Kent, Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust, Edinburgh's Telford College, Homerton College, Christs College, St Johns College and Girton College (University of Cambridge), University of Liverpool and Poole Hospitals NHS Trust.
"Top flight resellers such as Khipu are a cornerstone of Bradford's success," said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder and CEO. "As institutions fully understand the threat presented by students, guests, faculty and administration using unmanaged devices to access their networks, they will rely on security specialists like Khipu, Bradford's NAC Centre of Excellence for Education (NCEE), to help them evaluate and implement effective NAC solutions."
This month Bradford Networks was named an SC Magazine Innovator of the Year for 2007 for Network Access Control.
