Westcon-Comstor Southern Africa has been recognised with RUCKUS Platinum Distributor Status.
RUCKUS Networks provides reliable wired and wireless networking solutions designed for complex and high-demand environments. Its technology is used in a number of sectors including education, hospitality, manufacturing and public services.
The Platinum Status is awarded to distributors that demonstrate sustained excellence in revenue performance, solution capability and partner enablement. For Westcon Southern Africa, the recognition highlights its role as a specialist distributor that offers more than product fulfilment.
Nickey Mannya, Director for Cyber Security and Next Generation Solutions at Westcon-Comstor Southern Africa, said the achievement reflects the company’s investment in helping partners succeed. Mannya said the distributor provides technical training, pre-sales guidance, marketing support and post-deployment expertise that help partners offer high-performance networking solutions across the region.
The market in Southern Africa is seeing rising demand for reliable, scalable and secure connectivity as organisations advance digital transformation, embrace hybrid work and upgrade their infrastructure. RUCKUS continues to offer partners an opportunity to meet these needs through innovation and strong performance.
With the new Platinum Status, Westcon’s partners will gain access to several benefits. These include more visibility through RUCKUS programmes, enhanced access to demo equipment and market development funds. The distributor’s engineering and pre-sales teams will offer deeper technical enablement, including design assistance, solution validation and deployment support. Partners will also benefit from increased go-to-market momentum through joint marketing initiatives, training programmes and improved onboarding.
Westcon also expects to deliver a more resilient supply chain, giving partners and customers faster access to hardware and networking solutions across industries such as education, manufacturing, retail, hospitality and the public sector.
Mannya said the distributor will continue to invest in training, enablement programmes and expansion efforts with RUCKUS throughout 2026. The aim is to support partners as they build stronger and more capable networking practices.
