Reflex
Security, the leader in virtualization security management, today
announced a global distribution agreement with Avnet Technology Solutions (Avnet), an
operating group of Avnet, Inc. (NYSE: AVT), which will be implemented initially in the U.S. and Canada. Under the
agreement, Avnet will distribute Reflex Security's industry leading
"Virtual Security Manager" (VSM) solution. The agreement will significantly

"Avnet is committed to helping our value-added reseller partners develop
expertise and practices in fast growing markets, such as virtualization,"

like Reflex VSM to our technology portfolio offers our partners further
opportunities to deliver complete virtualized data center solutions that
are more secure and at a lower total cost of ownership."

implications that need to be taken into account. The first company to
introduce a dedicated virtual security solution in the market, Reflex
Security provides companies with a simple and cost-effective way to apply
an additional layer of security to their virtualized environments.
"As adoption of virtualization accelerates for next generation dynamic data

audit and control their virtual infrastructure. Our purpose-built Reflex
VSM solution provides critical security functionality while addressing
virtualization specific considerations such as monitoring the dynamic
environment, maintaining secure configuration, separation of duties and
regulatory compliance," said David de Valk, VP Business Development of
