OTTAWA, Dec. 11 -- Solace Systems, the leading supplier of content networking solutions for enterprises and service providers, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Actel, a strategy and technology consulting firm specializing in the Asia Pacific and Middle East Africa regions, to resell Solace's complete family of content networking products in China.
The agreement enables Actel to deploy Solace's appliances with service provider and enterprise customers throughout China. Partnering with a company with such strong relationships in this large and growing market will help Solace continue its Asian expansion.
"China's rapidly expanding economy has created an insatiable demand for improved technologies to deliver information quicker and more efficiently. To support the volume of data required by consumer and business applications, service providers and enterprises are embracing content-aware network technologies," said Crispin Clarke, Senior Vice President, Global Business Development at Solace Systems. "Actel understands the unique challenges currently facing China's data infrastructure and has the expertise to bring content networking appliances to China's businesses."
Actel and Solace have collaborated on a number of network trials in the mobile service provider and content service provider spaces. Through this partnership, additional opportunities in the banking, gaming and IPTV market segments are currently being considered.
"We see Solace as a key enabler in the move to next generation networks. We are very pleased to be working with them to bring leading-edge technology to our customers in China," said Claude Achcar, CEO of Actel. "The rapidly evolving need for content networking and the inclination towards swift technology adoption in Asia is supporting a shift away from software and towards hardware-based data delivery networks."
The agreement covers Solace's family of content networking appliances and associated hardware blades that enable low-latency content processing capabilities directly within the network.
