June 12, 2012 - PRLog -- London, 12th June 2012, Interactive Ideas today announced that it has been appointed Distributor by NetFort for the UK & Ireland. NetFort is a provider of a range of software products that monitor activity on virtual and physical networks.

Mike Trup, Managing Director at Interactive Ideas, commented “We are delighted to be partnering with NetFort to assist them and their reseller channel in gaining new customers. Through our long standing partnership with SolarWinds, we have seen the huge growth and demand for easy to use monitoring products.”

“Internet and internal network usage, and the associated bandwidth issues, are factors affecting organisations of all sizes. Most companies have little idea of why or who is causing the issues. With NetFort LANGuardian, companies can now identify the problem areas and take action to ensure a consistent service is maintained. With SolarWinds integration, organisations have a single pane of glass to monitor devices, activity and users in detail from one dashboard.

“For networking resellers, adding NetFort to their solution enables them to offer total network visibility monitoring devices and network usage, allowing them to revisit existing customers and build new revenue.”

John Brosnan, NetFort CEO commented “We are delighted to begin our partnership with Interactive Ideas. With their reach, sales experience, and technical expertise, they are the obvious choice to help us expand our customer base. This partnership presents an exciting opportunity for both companies. We look forward to working with Interactive Ideas to introduce a new generation of customers to the power and simplicity of traffic-based network monitoring.”
