Kentik Strengthens Asia-Pacific Growth with TDS Partnership

Channel Partnership Helps Address Region's Growing Demand for Network Observability

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kentik®, the network observability company, today announced continued expansion in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region through a new channel partnership with Technology Distribution Specialists (TDS). Based in Sydney, TDS will support Kentik's growth in Australia, New Zealand and Southeast Asia.

Over the last four years, Kentik's customer base in APAC has expanded by over 300 percent. As a value-added distributor (VAD) and reseller, TDS will help Kentik address regional demand for the Kentik Network Observability Cloud^[1], the platform that enables network professionals to plan, run and fix any network.

"Networks are essential for a vast majority of today's businesses, but without network observability, everything from performance and security to user experience and revenue are at risk," said Dom Fitzgibbon, CTO of TDS. "Kentik is addressing these needs on a global scale, and with TDS' experience in the industry, we're excited to partner to bring the Kentik solution to more markets and customers across the region."

"With a local presence and longstanding experience with networking and network management solutions, we're thrilled to partner with TDS as we grow our footprint in APAC," said Jim Frey, vice president of channel sales at Kentik. "Through this partnership, we will add dedicated regional support to meet the demands for our solution, while also ensuring a great experience for our customers."
