Cloudbrink Initiates Strategic Channel Expansion

High-performance secure connectivity provider Cloudbrink recently announced that it would continue its global expansion with a new office in Brazil and strategic channel agreements including boosting its ZTNA growth through signing exclusive Korea partner WITHX, a LATAM distribution agreement with partner BAMM Technologies, and African distribution via OneTic.

Cloudbrink also announced that it had achieved industry-leading SASE performance, empowering partners and customers with a per-datacenter capacity of 300 Gbps and per-user throughput of 1 Gbps.

“Cloudbrink solves the last-mile latency and reliability issues that channel partners in LATAM, Africa, and APAC face on a regular basis,” Cloudbrink Channel Chief Mark Craven said. “We are committed to a channel-first distribution strategy because, for Cloudbrink, it isn’t just about geographic expansion. It’s about enabling remote and hybrid workforces in regions that have been underserved by legacy solutions. Our goal is to bring world-class performance to emerging markets through the channel, not around it.”

Channel expansion agreements

Cloudbrink’s expansion into Africa is buoyed by a distribution agreement with OneTic to empower African Businesses to embrace digital transformation and compete on a global scale. Its Latin American expansion, powered by a distribution agreement with BAMM Technologies, will help with the increasing demand for secure connectivity in the region. 

“Cloudbrink is ZTNA that works,” BAMM Technologies CEO Miguel Daud said. “The impressive performance gains we can offer with Cloudbrink means that we’re not just enabling a good work from anywhere experience for our customers, we’re enabling innovation anywhere. That’s the type of offering that creates great value for customers and helps us build long-term strategic relationships.”

Additionally, the demand for secure connectivity is strong enough for Cloudbrink to open a new physical office in Osasco, Sao Paulo in Brazil.

“WITHX is pleased to be the exclusive partner for Cloudbrink in Korea,” said WITHX CEO KiHwan Lee. “As hybrid work becomes the norm, demand for high-performance and reliable connectivity continues to rise—no matter where the end user is located. We are confident that Cloudbrink’s Personal SASE provides companies with the fast, secure access their employees expect, with the security they need for little to no management overhead. We believe this partnership will help accelerate the adoption of more flexible and agile work environments in Korea as well.”

According to Cloudbrink, their new partnerships enable regional VARs, MSPs, and SIs to capitalize on Cloudbrink’s differentiated AI-powered ZTNA platform. Along with its performance optimization technology, partners are enabled to offer a solution that brings health margins, recurring revenue, and the potential for additional services, including managed access, onboarding, and optimization.

“By working with regional distributors, we’re not just shipping software,” Craven said. “We’re delivering a local experience that scales globally.”

Leading SASE performance

Cloudbrink said its solution provides industry-leading performance, meeting the performance standards of game development and creative content industries along with the large data transfer requirements of large IT and QA teams.

“Cloudbrink is committed to providing the industry’s best and highest performing solution,” Cloudbrink CEO Prakash Mana said. “Our goal is to enable hybrid work at scale. That means supporting users that are doing everything from developing graphics-intensive video games, to holding high-attendance video conferences, to running systems backup over our service. We put a priority on innovation and we are constantly pushing the envelope to provide application performance that no one can match.”

High-performance features for Cloudbrink customers include:

• 300 Gbps per-datacenter capacity: With horizontal scaling of connector components, Cloudbrink is providing an industry-leading per-datacenter capacity of 300 Gbps throughput without networking or firewall changes. This is achieved with Active-Active Connector support for on-prem deployments that can be deployed on any hypervisors. The Connectors can be grouped together as one logical entity to provide higher capacity. Further, Cloudbrink supports adding up to 64 Connector instances in Active-Active mode in one logical Connector entity.
• Per-user throughput of 1 Gbps: Cloudbrink can fully utilize a 1 Gbps ISP link to meet requirements of Fortune 100 customers in the game development and creative content industries which require highly immersive content from anywhere.
• 8TB per day user data transfer: Cloudbrink can support high-data transfer scenarios where users need consistent and high throughput performance.
• Adaptive last-mile optimization for the lowest latency: Cloudbrink leverages advanced optimization techniques, including preemptive and accelerated packet recovery, to adapt dynamic network conditions, ensuring seamless and dependable user experiences on enterprise applications, even in scenarios of high packet loss or fluctuating bandwidth.

“No vendor in the market today comes close to the throughput capacity that Cloudbrink can support,” Mana said. “Customers who need higher capacity are traditionally pressed to purchase additional hardware gateways, and are required to manage them separately to meet the capacity requirements of 10 Gbps. With Cloudbrink, customers can eliminate unneeded overhead and infrastructure and get the highest performance in the business.”
