Infinigate has acquired Vuzion to create a value-added distributor which combines cybersecurity and cloud services.
Vuzion is a Microsoft CSP indirect provider and cloud aggregator focusing on the SMB market. The firm also partners with vendors including Mimecast and Acronis.
More than 43 Vuzion staff will join the distributor as part of the acquisition, Infinigate claims, with Vuzion’s managing director Michael Frisby joining Infinigate as SVP of cloud services to drive Vuzion’s growth within EMEA.
The company will remain “operationally independent” for the time being and will be focused on supporting partners and helping them grow, Infinigate claims.
Infinigate will tap into Vuzion’s “wealth of experience” in helping vendors and partners adapt to fully subscription-based models, Infinigate claims.
Infinigate Group CEO Klaus Schlichtherle said: “Our acquisition of Vuzion is a strategic move that we’ve taken because cybersecurity and cloud are a natural fit. It enables us to ensure a more comprehensive security posture for the end customers especially in the SMB space. Infinigate will be the only VAD where resellers will find the expertise to transition customers to comprehensive secure cloud solutions,”
This is the second UK acquisition for Infinigate in less than two months.
The cybersecurity distributor took on investment from Bridgepoint in 2021 and went on to make a mammoth acquisition in July this year in the shape of Nuvias’ Cyber Security Solutions and Secure Networking business.
