Overview: nAppliance PartnerFirst Program
Working together to secure Microsoft-centric networks:
“nAppliance is the first company to deliver prescriptive security solutions for Microsoft applications. The nAppliance Series integrates Windows 2003 and ISA 2006 with nAppliances’ ONEface framework to enhance and defend the world’s most widely used business applications.”
Billy Bath, Director of Business Development
nAppliance PartnerFirst Program
nAppliance’s PartnerFirst program differs from standard security appliance reseller programs in that it is designed specifically to aid integrators of Microsoft-based solutions in developing a security practice that strengthens its core Microsoft practice. Uniquely focused on securing Microsoft infrastructure applications, nAppliance provides the channel with superior recurring revenue opportunities and investment protection from the acquisition of application-layer security knowledge. nAppliance is committed to the success and business growth of every PartnerFirst partner. As a nAppliance channel partner, you will bolster your solution set with the industry’s leading application-layer security platform, both to better serve your customers and establish a defensible revenue stream in a highly competitive marketplace.
Solutions overview:
nAppliance has partnered with leading network security software developers, Microsoft and Intoto, to create the nAppliance line of network security appliances. In addition, nAppliance has partnered with Coyote Point to offer a network load balancer to complement the security product lines. These products will provide nAppliance partners with flexible and scalable solutions to meet the security needs of their target market. Harnessing the power of Microsoft’s Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 and Intoto’s Intrupro IPS, nAppliance products offer a comprehensive set of application-layer security features to protect any enterprise that depends on Microsoft business applications. nAppliance provides channel partners with three powerful vehicles to drive revenue growth:
High-margin, point-of-sale revenue
Recurring security assessment and maintenance opportunities
Professional services revenue associated with the prescriptive security configuration of core infrastructure applications .
Program Benefits
nAppliance Partner First Program: Designed to fit your business model:
nAppliance recognizes that each channel partner has unique needs and that channel business models are as diverse as the market opportunities. To meet the varied demands of our partners, the nAppliance Partner First Program offers three levels of participation to deliver the tools and resources that best match your business goals. We are committed to strong channel relationships and integrity.
Silver: nAppliance Authorized Reseller
- For those smaller resellers or VARs where network security is not the core of their business, but still an integral part of their portfolio, we offer a basic level of partnership. Authorized Resellers have access to a wide range of sales tools to help them succeed in selling nAppliance products, and to stay abreast of the latest news and technologies for securing core Microsoft infrastructure applications. This program level is perfect for those resellers that can commit to selling at least one nAppliance per month, and have at least one dedicated, in-house certified network security staff.
Gold: nAppliance Certified Partner
- Gold Certified Partners have a high level of technical proficiency configuring Microsoft infrastructure applications with security in mind. The Partner First program rewards Certified Partners with a wealth of resources to improve their own security product portfolios and gain more network security business. The Partner First program helps these partners gain advantage in the marketplace, maximize professional service revenue, and realize the positive impact that deep security domain expertise has on business results. This level is perfect for resellers that are serious about improving their standing as network security VARs, and can sell network security appliances on a weekly basis.
Platinum: nAppliance Master VAR/VAD Partner
- Master partners are those businesses that have achieved high levels of technical competency and sales volumes in the network security space. These are both Value Added Distributors who provide financial, logistical and technical support to network security resellers, and VARs who provide network security to a large and diverse group of clients. Master partners reap the highest benefits of the Partner First program. They can utilize a variety of marketing support and technical education services to ensure the highest level of channel support and realize rapid business growth from securing Microsoft applications with nAppliance security solutions.
Leverage the Microsoft and nAppliance Commitment to Security:
Responding to the reality that network-based security offers little protection against exploits that target application vulnerabilities, the Microsoft Trusted Computing Initiative is committed to minimizing the attack surface of Microsoft applications by designing and installing applications with security in mind. Microsoft is aggressively developing and acquiring the technologies necessary to insulate its core infrastructure applications with defense-in-depth protection. Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server 2006 is a key component of the Microsoft defense in-depth strategy. ISA 2006 includes a powerful application-layer firewall that provides the stateful packet filtering and deep-packet inspection to function as a secure gateway for critical business applications such as Microsoft Exchange Server, SharePoint , and IIS.
nAppliance delivers the feature-rich power of ISA 2006 in a hardened appliance form factor. The nAppliance ONEface management and control plane simplifies the installation and maintenance burden. nAppliance and our Partner First program partners play an integral role in delivering on the Microsoft commitment to application security. nAppliance partners recognize the need to insulate core infrastructure applications with defense-in-depth. Using nAppliance solutions, partners can take a progressive stance towards minimizing the attack surface of Microsoft applications by offering customers best-practice, prescriptive security solutions. Hardened, highly reliable, and securely managed, nAppliance security appliances are the network security solutions of choice for any enterprise using Microsoft business applications. pliance Series Security Appliances are the security solutions of choice for any enterprise using Microsoft business applications.
nAppliance: Providing Secure Application Access for Microsoft and other Environments:
nAppliance provides solutions that are tailored to Microsoft networks and applications. In addition, nAppliance solutions for load balancing and intrusion prevention are well-suited to networking environments of all types, including non-Microsoft networks and applications.
