Gigamon's worldwide channel program rewards and enables value-added (VAR) partners by aligning resources, expertise and investments with partners who are committed to building successful practices around Gigamon's market-leading visibility and security solutions. The recently enhanced program recognizes the value of supporting a VAR's business with the introduction of expanded market development funds and significant investment in training programs. Gigamon works jointly with partners to develop expertise, build awareness and create demand in the high growth visibility market.

Gigamon Chief Marketing Officer Peter Finter was recently named as a 2015 CRN Channel Chief, demonstrating the company's track record of leading channel accomplishments, including their position and standing in the industry, dedication to the partner community and plans for riving industry innovation and channel growth.



To determine the 2015 5-Star recipients, The Channel Company's Research team assessed each vendor's investment in program offerings, partner profitability, partner training, education and support, marketing programs and resources, sales support and communications.

"Solution providers have a lot of choices when it comes to selecting vendor partners. Identifying the right vendor, with the right technologies, and the right approach can make all the difference," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company. "Our annual Partner Program Guide and 5-Star rating recognizes the best channel programs available in the market today to help solution providers determine which vendors deliver the best partner elements for their individual business goals."


"We're honored to receive this award as it exemplifies Gigamon's commitment to our channel partners," said Gigamon vice president of worldwide channel sales, Scott Sullivan. "We see our partners as a valued extension of our Gigamon sales force. As such, we are equipping them with the best solutions and most comprehensive portfolio to empower their growth and success as traffic visibility becomes essential to security, data center and service provider environments."
