Simms launches IronKey Enterprise products in Australia and New Zealand

IronKey, a global leader in providing encrypted secure managed portable storage solutions, and Simms International, a leading distributor and supplier of IT products and services to the corporate reseller and system integrator markets, announced today that they would be launching the IronKey Elite Partner program, focusing on engaging and enabling the channel around the Enterprise offering.

Simms will be targeting corporate and security specialist resellers that service the financial, healthcare and government markets. As customers increasingly demand solutions for data loss prevention and regulatory compliance, resellers will find the IronKey Enterprise solutions to be an essential addition to their security offerings. The Enterprise solution also offers resellers a recurring revenue stream with the 1-3 year Enterprise Management Service.

For both corporate and government customers the IronKey Enterprise Management Service allows you to easily manage IronKey Enterprise devices in the field, enforce device specific policies and manage onboard portable applications.

“In today’s computing environment, with an ever increasing number of employees being mobile, the risk of data loss for organisations is a real threat,” said Danny Moore, Australian Managing Director, Simms. “With IronKey’s encrypted secure portable solutions companies can rest assured that their data and reputation is safe.”

Moore said, “Many of the larger developed countries like the UK and US have imposed strict penalties on data breaches, and the failure of companies to disclose these breaches. It highlights how critical and costly data breaches can be for high profile organisations.” IronKey’s encrypted secure portable solutions deliver secure user authentication and unrivalled protection for mobile data, while offering administrators the ability to remotely manage deployed devices.

“With their specialist approach, and as a leading supplier of IT products to the Corporate reseller market, Simms is the perfect partner to be able to provide IronKey with the focus and support needed in the Australian and New Zealand markets,” said Travis Patterson, Senior VP of Sales at IronKey. “Their depth of relationships with channel partners will broaden IronKey’s reach in the region.”
