PCR Tech and IT retail, distribution and vendor news
Westcon-Comstor has signed a distribution agreement with Networking‑as‑a‑Service (NaaS) provider Meter, becoming the company’s first distributor across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
The agreement brings Meter’s full‑stack enterprise networking platform to the EMEA channel, giving partners access to a subscription-based model designed to simplify deployment and reduce upfront investment. Westcon-Comstor said the addition strengthens its networking portfolio and creates new opportunities for partners seeking recurring revenue in the expanding NaaS market.
Under the deal, Westcon-Comstor will support partner adoption through training, enablement and lifecycle services, including data-led insights and solution management.
Founded in California in 2015, Meter offers a vertically integrated approach that combines hardware, software and managed services under a single operating system. Its pricing model is based on site size rather than device count, aimed at providing predictable costs for organisations with distributed environments such as retail, logistics and higher education.
Meter’s service includes co-managed deployment, ongoing support and lifecycle upgrades.
“Meter offers a fresh, simple and profitable approach to networking that directly addresses the needs of partners, while adding a new dimension to our networking vendor portfolio,” said Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market at Westcon-Comstor. “The combination of Meter’s technology and our distribution capabilities will unlock growth potential for partners across the region.”
“We are excited to bring our enterprise networking offering to the EMEA channel through our agreement with Westcon-Comstor,” said Adam Ulfers, Head of Sales and Channel at Meter. “Their channel reach and networking expertise make them an ideal distribution partner as we expand into the region.”
