Barracuda Networks, a trusted partner and cloud-first security provider, announced a distribution agreement with Ingram Micro that will specifically focus on growing its reach within the U.S.. With this agreement, Ingram Micro will offer Barracuda’s portfolio of email, application, cloud, network and data protection solutions to channel partners nationwide.
“Ingram Micro’s established expertise in security is highly beneficial for channel partners who are investing in cybersecurity, networking and modern workplace practices,” said Jason Beal, VP of worldwide partner ecosystems, Barracuda. “One of the foundational elements of our global partner program is partner agility, and through our alliance with Ingram Micro, we look forward to strengthening our sales and technical enablement resources and helping our channel partners protect more customers faster with our advanced cybersecurity solutions.”
For channel partners offering cloud and hybrid cloud solutions and services, Ingram Micro’s leadership and access to hyperscaler marketplaces will better enable them to grow their businesses faster, providing customers with solutions built for today’s modern IT environments. Ingram Micro’s focus on state, local and education (SLED) also aligns with Barracuda’s focus, partner enablement efforts, and investments in the public sector vertical.
“We are pleased to expand our relationship with Barracuda to include the U.S. and play a more significant role in their go-to-market strategy and vertical market growth,” said Eric Kohl, Ingram Micro VP, security and networking. “Adding Barracuda’s cloud-first security solutions to our cybersecurity portfolio provides our channel partners with an even greater selection of offerings designed to meet their customers’ needs and securely solve for their specific business outcomes.”
The agreement follows the launch of the Barracuda Partner Success program in December 2023, and expands the companies’ existing relationship, which includes alliances in the EMEA and APAC regions. Ingram Micro is Barracuda’s second distribution partner in the U.S.. The company currently has a distribution relationship in the U.S. and Canada with TD Synnex.
