The 14th annual CRN Channel Awards, from UK’s leading weekly channel and reseller publication, are based on a combination of reader input and evaluations by CRN judges.

“Bradford’s Campus Manager product line and superior technical support provided us with a comprehensive NAC solution that delivers the identity management, endpoint compliance, and network usage policy enforcement required by educational institutions,” said Matt Ashman, Khipu’s Commercial Manager. “The dynamic nature of campus environments require a single solution for wired, wireless, and VPN connections.”

“Top flight resellers such as Khipu are a cornerstone of Bradford’s success,” said Mike Gadoury, Bradford Networks founder and CEO. “As institutions fully understand the threat presented by students, guests, faculty and administration using unmanaged devices to access their networks, they will rely on security specialists like Khipu, Bradford’s NAC Centre of Excellence for Education (NCEE), to help them evaluate and implement effective NAC solutions.”
