Partnership Offers New Zealand Resellers Access to PCI-Certified, Cloud-Managed Networking Solutions with Flexible Subscription Options
CHICAGO, U.S., and AUCKLAND, New Zealand – December 3, 2024 – Mako Networks, a leader in secure, cloud-managed networking for distributed enterprises, has renewed its distribution partnership with Snapper Network Distributors Ltd. (SnapperNet), a leading technology distributor in New Zealand. Mako is offering its innovative PCI-certified networking solutions to SnapperNet partners on a subscription basis, transforming how resellers deliver secure and scalable networks to their clients across New Zealand.
“Returning to our roots in New Zealand with SnapperNet is a milestone for Mako Networks,” said Adrian Pearce, Head of A/NZ Sales for Mako Networks. “This renewed partnership not only builds on our longstanding relationship but also introduces a new hardware-as-a-service model, providing resellers with unmatched flexibility and value. SnapperNet’s trusted presence and technical expertise make them an ideal partner to bring managed secure networking to the New Zealand market.”
SnapperNet has been a valued distribution partner for Mako since 2002, supporting resellers with cutting-edge networking and communication products. Under the renewed partnership, SnapperNet will now offer the Mako System on a monthly subscription basis, including PCI-certified security, SD-WAN, next-generation firewalls, VPN, Wi-Fi, Ethernet switching and cellular failover. Resellers benefit from zero-touch installation and centralized cloud management, making it easier than ever to deploy and manage secure networks.
“Mako offers resellers and their clients a hardware firewall that can be paid for on a monthly subscription instead of upfront,” said Richard Paul, Director of Sales & Marketing for SnapperNet. “It’s easy to configure with zero-touch installation, and resellers can even bundle Ethernet switches and wireless access points into the same subscription. This innovative approach not only simplifies deployment but also gives resellers a competitive edge in delivering secure, scalable and flexible networking solutions. That’s why we’re thrilled to say, ‘Mako is back—and better than ever.’”
The renewed partnership allows SnapperNet to support resellers in meeting the increasing demand for secure, cloud-managed networking for distributed enterprises, including convenience stores, fuel stations, quick serve and fast casual restaurants, health clinics and more. The new as-a-service model enables resellers to offer flexible, cost-effective solutions while maintaining competitive differentiation in the market.
