WildPackets Launches Multi-Tiered EU Partners Program

Broadens Coverage for Company's Network Analysis Products and Training

Walnut Creek, CA - November 13, 2002

WildPackets Inc., leading developers of expert network analysis tools, training, and services, announced a new WildPackets EU Partners Program created to accommodate the rapid evolution of their European channels and marketplace over the past year.

The new program sets the stage for a comprehensive network of representation for WildPackets products and services throughout the EU. It also focuses on closer business associations with corporate customers seeking cost-appropriate methods for managing their total network environment.

Four levels of participation are now possible under the new program: Services Partners, Solutions Partners, Reseller Partners and Strategic Partners. Services Partners are those that include WildPackets products as part of their own service offering to their customers; Solutions Partners sell WildPackets products as core components of a total network management solution to address specific customer requirements; Reseller Partners sell to resellers, who in turn sell to end-users; Strategic Partners OEM or bundle WildPackets products as complementary tools with their own solution.

UK-based Logix Communications Ltd., a WildPackets Strategic Partner, bundles EtherPeek NX with their WAN products to create an affordable expert WAN analysis product. "We had been searching for an affordable tool to couple with our WAN product to satisfy customer requests for expert WAN packet analysis and decoding," says John Burgoyne, Logix Communications Managing Director. "Teaming with WildPackets has thus far netted excellent expert tools for our clients, top-notch support for the integration of our two products, and a close relationship with a very solid, professional business partner."

"For the past year, WildPackets has been recruiting partners in Europe that have the technical understanding, expertise, and resources to help deliver our value proposition to the enterprise. In that time, we have seen a great and growing acceptance for our message of comprehensive network analysis at a fair market price, which has prompted us to restructure and refocus our channel program," states Richard Buchanan, WildPackets' EU Business Development Director.

Partners representing WildPackets at various program levels include Unisys, Muxum in the Netherlands, Controlware in Germany, Telena in Italy, Nordic LanTools in Sweden, and Networks Unlimited in the UK. Any EU-based organization interested in representing WildPackets at any of the levels of partner participation described should contact intlsales@wildpackets.com.
