Targets specialist channel and managed services providers
Arrow has extended its distribution relationship with Palo Alto Networks in the UK to support cloud security. The continued partnership aims to ensure that Palo Alto Networks' private, hybrid and public cloud offerings will be available within Arrow's overall product portfolio.
