Red Condor Signs North American Distribution Agreement With Tech Data Corporation.

ROHNERT PARK, Calif. -- Red Condor has signed a North American distribution agreement with Tech Data Corporation for its email security products, including its managed email security services and Message Assurance Gateway (MAG) network appliances. Red Condor's Vx Technology[TM] provides the industry's first premium network security solution that integrates a local network appliance with managed email security services. This provides load sharing and the resilient deployment of resources to prevent spam attacks and messaging-born threats from overwhelming client networks and crippling productivity.

"This agreement with one of the world's largest technology distributors will help us better support our rapidly growing customer base," said Ron Longo, Red Condor president and CEO. "It will also allow us to focus on our core competency of technology development to protect network owners from malicious email campaigns while receiving uninterrupted delivery of legitimate email."

"As e-mail becomes an even more critical tool for communicating and conducting business, it has turned into the preferred mode of attack for many hackers and spammers," said Stacy Nethercoat, Tech Data's vice president, Software Product Marketing. "To deal with this threat, business of all sizes rely on the expertise of our reseller customers. The addition of Red Condor further expands the innovative products our customers can use to create and deploy effective email security solutions for a wide range of end users."

Tech Data supports 90,000 resellers worldwide. It provides a broad range of resources to help VARs successfully market products and services from leading technology developers.

"Red Condor will take advantage of Tech Data's TechSelect and Software Connections programs," Longo said. "This will help us further support network owners, including small-to-midsized (SMB) businesses, primary and secondary education, local and regional government, and large enterprise networks. Research shows that email is now their primary form of communication, making security and the reliable delivery of legitimate email vital to their success."

Tech Data's TechSelect Community includes approximately 450 innovative resellers who drive the early adoption of the latest IT technology.
