Prior to its appointment by SonicWALL, Taarak was the distributor of MailFrontier email security technology. In May, SonicWALL announced the international launch of its new Email Security product set, developed as a result of its Mailfrontier acquisition on February 9, 2006.

Taarak will be SonicWALL's third national distributor in India. Select Technologies distributes the full range of SonicWALL products, including UTM firewalls, SSL-VPN devices, Email Security technology, software and subscription services. IT Secure will distribute all lines of SonicWALL products except SonicWALL Email Security.

Harish Tyagi, CEO, Taarak said, "Our existing knowledge of this technology combined with our relationships with channel partners and customers will help SonicWALL's rapid expansion in this space. With powerful enhancements and must-have features, SonicWALL's Email Security product line has managed to attract the attention of a lot of partners and we expect this to be a runaway hit."

SonicWaLL's acquisition of MailFrontier has helped bring powerful, easy to manage email security to customers as part of SonicWALL's end-to-end suite of secure content protection.

SonicWALL today has more than 75 Medallion Partners resellers in India. Taarak's partnership will further help SonicWALL consolidate its lead in the security appliance market.

Shubhomoy Biswas, Country Manager, SonicWALL India, said, "SonicWALL in India has gained a lot of traction in the last 12 months. In our recently held 'SonicWALL-Beyond UTM' seminar series where we launched SonicWALL's Email Security range, we had a phenomenal response. We've had partners booking orders for the same the very next day of the launch. We believe having Taarak's support to this offering will benefit SonicWALL's penetration into this market tremendously"

SonicWALL and Taarak will jointly conduct seminars and events to help educate and make resellers and end-users aware of, Sonic Wall's technology capabilities and support initiatives.
