Data World Signs Agreement to Distribute BlueCat Networks’ Technology in Hong Kong

Hong Kong and Toronto, Canada – March 24, 2010 – BlueCat Networks, the IPAM Intelligence Company™, today underscored its commitment to the Asian market by announcing the signing of a distribution agreement in Hong Kong with Data World Computer & Communication Ltd. (Data World C&C).  The agreement permits Data World to promote BlueCat Networks’ Proteus™ IP Address Management (IPAM) solution and Adonis™ family of DNS/DHCP appliances in Hong Kong.

“Traditionally, IP address management has been a major concern for all IT managers and administrators as it is often a time-consuming task involving huge spreadsheets or homemade solutions – which are cumbersome to work with and can result in unpredictable mistakes and problems which are not easily identified,” said Gary Chan, Technical Pre-sales Manager with Data World C&C.  “As IPv6, the next-generation internet protocol, becomes the standard, IP address management will have to be more sophisticated as the increased length of the new IP addresses will make it impossible to manage them with spreadsheets,” Chan continued.  “As a partner with BlueCat, Data World Computer & Communication Ltd’s resellers will provide BlueCat’s “Best-of-Breed” IP Address Management solutions to meet the requirements of all enterprises and Telcos in the region.”

The agreement with Data World C&C will enable BlueCat Networks to grow its global channel program in response to the rapidly-increasing worldwide demand for its market-leading IPAM technologies and DNS/DHCP appliances.  Data World C&C, a leading value-added distributor of enterprise technology in Hong Kong, will focus on recruiting top-tier systems integrators and resellers to expand BlueCat Networks’ channel program – making it easy for organizations to purchase BlueCat Networks’ innovative technology from highly-qualified partners with first-hand knowledge of the local market.

“We have signed Data World C&C as a Value Added Distributor to meet the rapidly-increasing demand for BlueCat’s IPAM and DNS/DHCP solutions in Hong Kong,” said Dean Bell, Vice President Asia Pacific, BlueCat Networks.  “Data World C&C possesses the highly-focused IT experience required to deliver world-class products and services to the channel and the local knowledge needed to assist BlueCat develop a BlueCat Authorised Training centre in the region, which will build on BlueCat’s existing certified knowledge base to deliver a quarterly certification curriculum to the channel,” Bell continued.  “Having listened to the IPAM, DNS and DHCP needs of both customers and resellers in Hong Kong, we feel that Data World C&C is ideally qualified to build the strong channel base required to meet those requirements for both new and existing customers – ensuring BlueCat can continue its fast-accelerating growth in the region.”
