Array Networks Expands European Presence; Bolstered by Explosive Growth and Widespread Customer Demand, SSL VPN Leader Increases Sales and Support in Six Key Regions.

MILPITAS, Calif. -- Array Networks, a global leader in secure, high-performance IP access solutions, today announced that it has significantly expanded its presence across Europe by opening dedicated sales and support offices in the UK, Belgium and France for its SPX Series SSL VPN product line and its TMX Series Application Acceleration solutions. The company has also expanded its footprint across Germany, Spain and Italy through new strategic reseller relationships.

Array Networks has already seen major success across Europe with customer wins such as Lufthansa, MMD Sizers, Endsleigh Insurance, ProClinic, Bouygues, and Aker Kvaerner. Additionally, the company has established key partnerships with leading European resellers including Bell Micro, Horus, BlackIP, Sisnor, Hermitage Solutions, ITS Tech, Sysob, Dimension Data and Eclipse, who support the growing SSL VPN market and are seeing increasing demand for Array's best of breed solutions.

"The need for SSL VPN technology continues to grow rapidly worldwide. To meet this increasing demand Array has significantly strengthened its presence throughout Europe," said Michael Zhao, chief executive officer and president of Array Networks. "We are committed to providing direct and indirect sales and technical support to our customers within Europe and we look forward to an ever-expanding presence. Additionally, to illustrate our commitment to developing local business we have appointed Kevin Thiele in the UK and Rodolf Schmit in Brussels as regional sales directors for Array Networks."

Array Networks' new European sales and support team will offer the company's complete SPX Series SSL VPN product line, which extends secure access to mobile employees, partners and customers and is the only solution to fully address all performance and scalability criteria for SSL VPN deployments. Additionally, the European offices will offer Array's TMX Series Application Acceleration Solutions, which integrate traditional data center functions into a single, purpose-built solution to reduce cost and complexity while maximizing application availability, security and performance. By providing enhanced sales and support resources in these six key European regions, Array can more closely serve its European customer base and help resellers to meet increasing global demand.

"We chose Array's enterprise SSL VPN appliance because it was the only remote access product that offered a combination of exceptional security and scalability that our globally-dispersed organization needed," said Ann Potts, director, MMD Group, located in the UK. "Array's increased presence illustrates its commitment to our region and we look forward to continuing our work with them."
