"As part of our continued expansion in the EMEA region, we were looking for a partner to both support and boost our Middle East network. FVC is the perfect partner for us because of its ability to provide full coverage in the region and its extensive network of VARs," said Richard Reid, WatchGuard Managing Director, EMEA.
