SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SoftIron Pty Ltd., the world-leader in task-specific appliances for scale-out data center solutions, today announced a partnership with Baidam Solutions, Australia's leading First Nations ICT security services and solutions provider.
Through the strategic partnership, SoftIron aims to drive growth in the Australian ICT sector with its award-winning solutions. The partnership comprises two parallel work streams to simultaneously drive market awareness and customer consideration of its open source datacenter platforms, focusing primarily in the government sector. A critical outcome of the relationship is to support Baidam's mission to bridge the gap of Indigenous representation in the IT security sector.
"We are proud to be partnering with Baidam Solutions as one of our first channel partners in Australia," said Philip Crocker, Vice President, Business Development & Channel at SoftIron. "Baidam and its mission encompasses all the attributes we look for when engaging with channel partners and our alliance will help fuel growth in Australia. Of equal importance, we will be supporting the great work Baidam is doing to pioneer and fund new social and educational pathways in the IT sector for Indigenous and First Nations people. We look forward to seeing where this partnership can take us beyond our capabilities and contribute to making meaningful social change in Australia."
