DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, 10th May, 2015: A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a technology leader in application networking, announced today that World Wide Technology (WWT), a market-leading systems integrator that provides innovative technology and supply chain solutions to clients throughout the world, has been promoted to A10 Affinity Platinum status: the top tier in the A10 Affinity partner program. WWT formally joined the A10 Affinity partner program in 2014, and this promotion to Platinum status is the result of significant new joint investments, wins, and revenue throughout 2014 and early 2015.

The combination of A10 Networks' solutions and WWT's global integration and services capabilities provides a powerful, flexible, and cost-effective total solution for joint clients, with a special focus on emerging telecommunications service providers. In addition to reselling the full suite of A10's application networking solutions, the agreement allows WWT to resell A10 professional services and develop its own custom services for A10 solutions. A10 is featured in the WWT Advanced Technology Center (ATC), a collaborative ecosystem to design, build, demonstrate and deploy innovative technology products and integrated solutions for WWT's customers and partners. Highly credentialed subject matter experts leverage the ATC in order to demonstrate how products, applications and architectures work together in next-generation environments to solve real-world challenges.
