ePlus Receives Gigamon Partner of the Year

HERNDON, VA – February 9, 2018 – ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS – news) today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, ePlus Technology, has been named Gigamon’s Partner of the Year.  The award was presented at the Gigamon Sales Kickoff event held January 15-17 in Carlsbad, CA.

ePlus received the award based on its sales and support of the Gigamon solution platform.  The Gigamon GigaSECURE Security Delivery Platform helps clients achieve more efficient and resilient use of security toolsets through scalable and high-performance network fabric visibility.

“ePlus is proud to receive Gigamon’s Partner of the Year award,” said Lee Waskevich, vice president of security solutions at ePlus.  “Fragmented and inefficient security solutions that require inline inspection drive unnecessary confusion and frustration between NetOps and SecOps teams.  The visibility platform Gigamon provides helps to greatly simplify this architecture and increase efficiency in both existing and new security toolsets.  We look forward to continuing to work with Gigamon to help our customers simplify networking and security, addressing the demands of scaling traffic both on-premise and in the cloud—vital to identifying and mitigating current and future threats.”

“Congratulations to ePlus for being named Gigamon Partner of the Year for 2017,” said Burney Barker, senior vice president of worldwide sales for Gigamon.  “We look forward to another year of success as we work together to focus on helping our mutual customers improve their security posture through the use of the GigaSECURE platform.”
