Master agency Avant Communications has joined Cato Networks’ channel partner program.

Avant’s agents will add Cato’s global SD-WAN service to their portfolios, dubbed Cato Cloud.

“We’re excited to be working with leading master agencies, like Avant, to bring Cato Cloud service to its agents,” said Nick Fan, vice president of sales for the Americas at Cato. “Enterprises are looking to streamline IT investments in global access, security, mobility and cloud. Cato Cloud is the only one-stop-shop, converged solution on the market today addressing that challenge.”

“AVANT is a leader in channel sales of SD-WAN, tripling our channel’s SD-WAN revenue within the past year,” added Drew Lydecker, president and co-founder at AVANT. “Cato’s rich capabilities of secure SD-WAN services, combined with AVANT’s sales-enablement platform is poised to make a significant impact. SD-WAN is on fire in the industry and Cato/AVANT stand ready to support it.”
