A provider of cybersecurity, networking, hybrid cloud, mobility and SDN, Myriad is the winner of the Catalyst Award. It earned the award for “remarkable year-over-year revenue acceleration, exceptionally strong customer engagement through effective marketing campaigns, and attaching sales to complementary product purchases,” Opengear said.

In addition to their role as channel partners, both WWT and Myriad Supply also have integrated Opengear’s offerings internally, with WWT as part of its Advanced Technology Center.

“It’s an honor for WWT to be named Opengear’s Partner of the Year,” said Kurt Fultz, vendor alliance partner specialist with WWT. “The remote-management solutions that Opengear offers are especially well-suited to the needs of our enterprise customers, delivering the automation and resilience necessary to safeguard networks and keep them up and running no matter what.”
