Global security solutions provider, WatchGuard, says it has set a new growth record in the Australian and New Zealand market, reporting an increase in business of more than 14 percent across all business lines, and a 94 percent growth in mid-market lines, representing over 25 per cent of total ANZ revenue.
WatchGuard today announced first quarter (Q1) results, reporting a return to double digit, year-over-year growth, with WatchGuard’s VP Asia Pacific, Scott Robertson, claiming continuing market leadership in the SMB security segment with more than 14 per cent growth over the same period last year.  

“In fact, the Australia and New Zealand business experienced 94 per cent growth in XTM 8, 10 and 20 Series sales which deliver up to 10GB of XTM/UTM throughput and purpose built for the needs of mid-market enterprises with between 500 - 5,000 employees.   These results confirm that, as a category, XTM/UTM continues to deliver exceptional solutions for Australian and New Zealand businesses of all sizes.”

“WatchGuard continues its pattern of significant growth. Because of our strong channel partners, solid product offerings and unbeatable customer value, 2012 appears to be on pace for another record-breaking year,” Robertson concluded.
