Garland Technology Expands Market in North America with Global Convergence Inc. as New Distribution Partner

OLDSMAR, Fla., March 06, 2017 -- Global Convergence Inc. (GCI),  a leading value-added distributor of emerging, innovative and disruptive technology for global IT services and solutions, has entered into a distribution agreement with Garland Technology, a New York based leading manufacturer of network test access products (TAPs).

As a result of this relationship, GCI will distribute and market Garland Technology network TAPs to its base of solution providers focused on bringing visibility to the network and solving connectivity issues for their customers.

The foundational underpinning of visibility starts with network TAPs that feed the monitoring and security tools all of the data they need, all of the time - every bit, byte and packet that is needed to successfully secure and monitor the network.  Garland Technology’s TAPs are purpose-built hardware devices that provide physical access and visibility into the network – allowing you to see every bit, byte and packet^®.

"Garland Technology has an aggressive growth strategy that will only be accomplished through strategic alliances with key channel partners, such as Global Convergence. Our shared values of providing best-in-class service coupled with quality tested products that are positioned for immediate delivery aligns together for success,” said Chris Bihary, CEO/Co-founder of Garland Technology.

“It’s easy to identify the synergies that exist between the solutions that Garland Technology offers and the GCI partner base clamoring for such solutions,” said Rick Lewis, Sr. Vice President of Supply Chain Sales at GCI.  “One other key aspect to the relationship, important to both businesses, is an excellent culture fit,” Lewis added.
