Wiresoft Partners with Marketlink --Industry Leader to Build Distribution Channel for Innovative Security Product. Cincinnati - May 2, 2006 - - Wiresoft Net, Inc. officials today announced a partnership with Marketlink Technologies, Inc. to build a national sales and distribution channel for Wiresoft's new and innovative Sentry Security Platform (SSP). Marketlink is the nation's most experienced channel development organization, having built and supported sales channels for security sector leaders such as Barracuda, Bluesocket, NetScreen, RIM (Blackberry) and Symantec. Wiresoft's SSP is a four-in-one security solution that offers small and mid-sized businesses complete network protection and freedom from business interruption with a firewall, anti-virus defense, spam blocking and VPN connectivity. "Together, we are winners," says Marketlink President Dan Dempsey. "Wiresoft's new Sentry Security Platform offers smaller companies the same level of network protection as Fortune 500 organizations, and at an affordable price point. Our experience enables us to help Wiresoft quickly penetrate the SMB market and address the SMB's growing demand for an integrated full-function security solution." Marketlink will recruit and support value-added resellers (VARs) for Wiresoft's Sentry Security Platform. Wiresoft marketing focuses on educating the reseller channel, which serves the 20 million U.S. companies within the small to mid-sized businesses (SMB) category. Network security needs are increasing for this segment, and industry experts anticipate rapid growth will continue for the foreseeable future. "The vicious proliferation of spam and viruses creates a significant threat to American businesses, and business disruption is a costly consequence of spam and virus attacks," said Tom Schram, president and CEO of Wiresoft. "This is particularly true for small- and mid-sized businesses, which often have a strong dependence on Internet connectivity and rarely have in-house IT resources." According to ITFacts.biz, last year 30 percent of all U.S. companies were infiltrated by a virus; and 90 percent of those organizations had an anti-virus engine running. A recent Computer Associates study indicates that 70 percent of the SMBs surveyed indicating the proliferation of spam on their networks resulted in a loss of PC performance and system/network slow-down on their business. Wiresoft's comprehensive spam and virus protection combined with firewall, VPN, remote management and other features is just the start. The heart of Sentry is ANA, their Automated Network Administrator function. ANA is an artificial intelligence-based electronic 'network watcher' that continuously observes and tests each user's network, looking for and in most cases resolving network problems before they impact the company. No other product in this category offers this continuous management functionality.
