Security appliance vendor Celestix is close to recruiting its full quota of top-level partners just three months after its UK launch.

The firm, which has technology partnerships with both Websense and SurfControl, and which integrates Microsoft’s ISA Server on its appliances, operates a two-tier model in the UK, with e92plus as its sole distributor.

Speaking to CRN, Tim Ager, channel director EMEA at Celestix, said that business is going well.

“We have signed up our first 15 top-level partners in the UK already,” he said. “We will be looking for the final five throughout September. We also want to sign the next level of partner – Business Partner – and are looking for 15 to 20 of those over the next two to three months.

“However, our partner programme is not easy to join because we want the right kind of partners.”
