Alkira has appointed Exclusive Networks to introduce its cloud networking as-a-service (CNaaS) platform to the channel. This makes Alkira’s Cloud Services Exchange (CSX) available through Exclusive’s partners in 40 countries across five continents.
The AI-based CSX system claims to be so clever it allows service providers to solve major network problems in “a few mouse clicks” and can bring the Israelis and the Palestinians together (we made the last one up).
Alkira founder and CEO Amir Khan said the industry faces a shortage of networking expertise and the lack of control costs the industry billions of pounds, with wasted resources and security compromises being just two of the many problems. This means that networks cost too much, are easily hacked and are difficult to defend.

Jesper Trolle, CEO of Exclusive Networks, has been in the role for just over a year and during that period the business has expanded geographically. The company has launched its XOD cloud platform and earlier this summer made sure it was in a position to support security start-ups with the acquisition of fellow distie Ignition Technology.
Exclusive Networks has announced the addition of Sonatype to its EMEA vendor portfolio.
The leader in developer-friendly tools for software supply chain automation and security has chosen Exclusive to help expand its footprint with a partnership geared to equipping and enabling resellers, focused on bringing best-in-class digital and cloud-based security products and services to market.
As part of the agreement, Exclusive will focus primarily on opportunities around the Nexus Lifecycle and Nexus Firewall solutions that promise to eliminate risk from third-party open-source software supply chains.
Exclusive Networks VP Global Vendor Alliances and Business Development Denis Ferrand-Ajchenbaum said: “Enterprises investing in innovation and digital transformation are rightly concerned about the security risks inherent in third-party software components. So they’re turning to channel partners to advise on and implement specialised, automated solutions that won’t compromise development velocity or interrupt workflows.

CEO Jesper Trolle said that demand for cybersecurity during the pandemic boosted the outfit’s bottom line and ruled out a change in trading conditions until the fourth quarter.
“We think there will be a gradual opening in the latter half of the year, so beginning late third and fourth quarter will probably be where we see a bit more normalised trading environment.”
During its FY 2020, Exclusive scored 17 new vendors, and grew its footprint in 10 new central and eastern European countries, via the acquisition of €300 million Polish distributor Veracomp.
