DUBAI, UAE: Prologix Distribution, a leading IT and telecom systems integrator in the Middle East and Africa, has signed a partnership agreement with Fluke Networks, a world leader in innovative solutions for the testing, monitoring and analysis of enterprise and telecommunications networks, to deliver the company's range of network monitoring, analysis, troubleshooting and security solutions to enterprise customers and SMBs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Prologix will leverage Fluke Networks' OptiView, TruView and AirMagnet solutions to build high-performance networks that will see deployment in the telecom, banking, finance, contact centers, oil and gas, healthcare, hospitality and education sectors.

"The broad range of industries that these solutions can be deployed in gives us a wider customer base to target," said Sarwan Singh, director, Sales and Operation, Prologix LLC. "The ability to identify, analyse and troubleshoot network disruptions on-the-go is essential to ensuring service delivery that meets QoS expectations. Our partnership with Fluke Networks further strengthens Prologix's networking capabilities, allowing us to add yet another facet to our solutions portfolio."

Prologix expects the partnership to generate in excess of $1.5 million in the first year and has established a team of five highly trained network professionals dedicated to the new product range. These engineers have all received training directly from Fluke Networks on the company's OptiView, TruView and AirMagnet solutions and are capable of rapidly deploying convincing POCs in highly complex customer network environments. As per the agreement, Fluke Networks will further extend sales and pre-sales support to the Prologix Team and assist the company in identifying solutions and deployment scenarios which will best meet customer requirements.

Fluke Networks' OptiView is a hand held tablet device that allows network managers to analyse and troubleshoot anything, anywhere in the network, at any time. It automates root cause analysis of network and application problems to reduce the time required for troubleshooting. This ease of use is also seen in Fluke Networks' TruView unified network and application performance troubleshooting appliance, which correlates data into seamless guided workflows to provide root cause visibility in 3 clicks or less.
