A10 Networks signs Ingram Micro as approved training center for ME

As part of the agreement, Ingram Micro’s trainers and qualified instructors have been through preparation and guidance with A10's technical team to ensure that they are certified and qualified to deliver A10 training to partners and customers. This will enable resellers' technical staff to be certified trainers and users, which in turn means that they will be able to provide enhanced implementation and support services to their customers. Similarly, if end users don't have certified engineers, they can sign up for training courses as well.

The training courses will include System Administration, CGNAT & IPV6 Migration, Secure Web Access and DDoS Protection. For those that complete individual modules, they will be a ‘certified professional’ in that area. Upon successful completion of all exams, they earn the certification of ‘A10 Certified Architect.’

Ehab Halablab, Regional Sales Director – ME at A10 Networks says, “A10 Networks has been experiencing rapid growth in the Middle East. With this we have seen an increasing regional demand for training in our company’s solutions, necessitating additional dedicated training resources. Ingram Micro has a big physical presence in the region and a strong portfolio of other technology vendor trainings that complement our offerings. We see the value-added distributor as being the ideal teammate to help deliver training in order to increase the level of recognised expertise within organisations, while increasing their capability for pre- and post-sales support.”

“We believe that strengthening technology skills in the region through training and certification will provide an impetus to the digital transformation efforts of organizations in the Middle East.”

Ali Baghdadi, SVP and Chief Executive of Ingram Micro META Region comments, “Ingram Micro Training is rapidly growing as a global industry leader in technology training and skills development. We are constantly looking to add vendors to our training portfolio who are technology leaders that address today’s trends and imperatives like cloud, security, mobility and 5G.

“We are committed to providing the highest quality trainings so as to ensure that the skillsets of resellers carrying out project implementations, as well as end-user IT teams maintaining day to day operations, are of the highest levels in order to derive maximum benefit of A10’s technology.”
