Landitec® and OPNsense® extend long-term partnership

Landitec® officially announced as OPNsense® Platinum Partner

Kamen/Germany, Middelharnis/Netherlands, 06th April 2021. The German value add network equipment distributor Landitec® Distribution GmbH and the Dutch open source firewall software developer OPNsense® declare a closer cooperation by officially notifying Landitec® as Platinum Partner. With this next step being made in a long-term professional partnership, Landitec® and OPNsense® aim to persistently provide the profits of tailored open source hardware/software solutions. “Since 2014 we have been partnering with the minds behind the OPNsense project. This partnership has become a close friendship. We are proud to have reached the next level in our partnership and look forward to further collaboration”, says Yasin Imren, member of Landitec’s board of directors.



By announcing this further step of business partnership, Landitec® and OPNsense® react to the recently observable growing impact of open source projects in various business fields worldwide. The fusion of hardware and open source firewall software appears to become a more and more indispensable feature for IT network infrastructures. “This partnership of OPNsense® and Landitec® reflects our desire to work with companies that share our vision on open source projects. This will benefit the OPNsense development and underscores our mission to become the most widely used open source security platform”, says Robert van Papeveld, ceo at Deciso® B.V.



The consistently enormous speed of development in IT is going to remain an endless challenge keeping networks up to date. The cooperation of Landitec® and OPNsense® opens the door to an easy, smooth and cost reducing transition of obsolete company networks, which have not been gaplessly digitalized yet.



The potential of open source applications let Landitec® decide to give open source projects their deserved attention by launching an own brand in this field. The fusion of Landitec’s scope7® and OPNsense® has therefore been the logical next step, an efficient symbiosis of network hardware and open source firewall software for nearly every company size. This hardware/open source software collaboration is a further evidence for the increasing demand of scalable and interoperable “all in one” appliance solutions, which underlines the necessity of such business cooperation.
