It has expanded its Data Centre Practice to include VMware's portfolio of cloud infrastructure and business mobility solutions in South Africa.

To help Southern Africa solution providers improve time to revenue and accelerate growth opportunities, Westcon-Comstor has expanded its Data Centre Practice to include VMware's portfolio of cloud infrastructure and business mobility solutions in South Africa.

This expanded agreement supports partners with pre- and post-sales support, technical support, as well as logistics services from 60 offices across six continents. Partners also gain access to Westcon Academy's unparalleled range of technical programmes, both certified and non-certified, designed to educate their staff, expand capabilities and keep them ahead of their competition.
