Westcon-Comstor has announced a strategic distribution partnership with Infoblox to strengthen hybrid cloud and cybersecurity capabilities across Southern Africa. The collaboration aims to equip channel partners with advanced tools to address growing network complexity and security demands in hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Cloud adoption across Africa continues to accelerate, with over 86 percent of organisations reporting medium to high cloud maturity in 2025. At the same time, more than 60 percent are enhancing cybersecurity and risk-mitigation strategies, highlighting the increasing importance of secure, resilient, and automated network infrastructure in supporting digital transformation.
Through this partnership, Westcon-Comstor’s channel partners will gain access to Infoblox’s unified platform, which integrates networking, security, and cloud services. The platform automates and secures critical network services such as DNS, DHCP, and IP address management, enabling organisations to operate resilient infrastructures across on-premises, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. Partners will also benefit from technical support, enablement programs, and go-to-market guidance to accelerate adoption and customer success.
Nickey Mannya, Director for Cybersecurity and Next Generation Solutions at Westcon-Comstor Southern Africa, emphasised that the partnership strengthens both network resilience and growth opportunities. Infoblox’s Regional Manager for SADC, Justin Olivier, added that Southern Africa represents a strategic growth market where organisations are seeking secure and scalable modernisation, and the collaboration leverages local market insight and channel expertise to deliver on this demand.
Infoblox’s globally trusted platform, used by over 6,000 customers worldwide including 92 of the Fortune 100, aligns with Westcon-Comstor’s strategy to deliver enterprise-grade solutions that address real-world infrastructure and security challenges. Together, the partnership positions Southern African organisations to modernise securely, optimise network operations, and strengthen overall cybersecurity posture.
