Customers can either select those services required by their business model or take the entire F5 Cloud offering. They also have a Bring-Your-Own Licence option and volume licensing subscription.
The F5 Cloud Licencing Programme is now available via ArrowSphere, Arrow’s Cloud marketplace. ArrowSphere allows MSPs to create their own cloud services or to re-sell cloud services from storage, security, networking and communications vendors.
“We are excited to bring F5 Networks’ Cloud Licensing Programme to Europe,” said Steve Robinson, vice president for Arrow`s global cloud business. “Arrow brings value-added cloud services on the ArrowSphere platform to channel partners with F5 solutions for traditional Value-Added Resellers and Managed Service Providers.”
The programme runs in 26 EMEA countries.
