06 June 2023, Johannesburg – Fully managed secure SD-WAN, SASE and networking service provider and distributor, Redvine Networks has been recognised as the 2023 VMWare Technical Partner of the Year.   

The award recognises the technical excellence and capability of the Redvine Networks team as it continues to grow and expand its VMWare SD-WAN and SASE footprint across the continent.  

The company, which was shortlisted out of the more than 300 partners in the VMWare channel in South Africa, also received nominations for Solution Architect/Pre-Sales Person of the Year and Sales Person of the Year. 

“We are thrilled to receive this award, not least because it affirms our commitment to continued skills development and customer delivery excellence but also gives our customers the reassurance that they are working with a world class technical team,” says Binesh George, CEO at Redvine Networks. 

In particular, Redvine Networks was commended for its deep technical proficiency and ability to independently deliver VMWare SD-WAN, SASE and other solutions, coupled with its growing customer base using the company’s solutions offering in this space. 

Since the inception of its partnership with VeloCloud in 2016 and subsequently VMWare, Redvine has implemented cloud gateways in Botswana, Kenya, Lesotho, Namibia, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe in Africa, and in the UK and Italy in Europe.   

The company has rolled out VMWare SD-WAN and SASE to more than 19 countries, helping companies and partners across multiple industries including mining; agriculture; logistics and retail to save costs, drive better network visibility and seamless link remediation and prioritised data management.  

“With many businesses critically evaluating their connectivity and network strategies, especially in the move to a full or hybrid cloud model, SD-WAN and SASE offers a compelling and cost effective alternative to traditional network options.  We are proud to partner with VMWare to deliver SD-WAN, SASE and other solutions and look forward to continuing to deliver an exceptional technical, and technology experience to our customers,” concludes George.
