ExtraHop Expands Australian Channel Program

ExtraHop announced that Ikara Group has officially joined its reseller community, connecting Australian businesses with real-time insight into the performance, availability, and security of critical IT systems and the digital businesses they support.

"ExtraHop started with a bold mission: transform the scale and complexity of modern IT into a powerful source of intelligence for business operations. Ikara Group joins our fast growing list of partners across Australia that are enabling our customers to have an insight into how their IT system is actually performing," said Kem Pehlivan, ANZ Lead for ExtraHop.

"Ikara has expertise working with organzations to optimize end-user experience by building customized solutions that manage the performance of critical applications and infrastructure and ensure SLA compliance. With the addition of ExtraHop to the Ikara portfolio, customers now benefit from an analytics-first approach that delivers real-time visibility into the performance, availability, and security of every IT system, from the datacenter to the cloud to the edge," said Pehlivan

"Demand for IT analytics is growing as systems integrators and customers seek solutions that deliver better control of existing infrastructure, help them accelerate next-generation initiatives like cloud adoption, and improve digital experience. The differentiated approach ExtraHop brings to the table allows us to offer Ikara customers the accurate and timely insight they need to accelerate key initiatives and improve performance and security posture," said Reuben Bennett, Managing Partner, Ikara Group.

The partnership with Ikara will allow ExtraHop to further deepen its reach in Ikara's primary market Queensland.
