ROME -- Quarry TechnologiesR, the performance leading supplier of carrier-class security service routers, and Tecnonet S.p.A, the leading Italian communications and networking systems integrator, today announced that Tecnonet will now offer Quarry's iQ series Security Service Routers as part of the company's solutions for the telecommunications industry. The agreement gives Tecnonet the ability to resell Quarry's complete system, providing what Tecnonet views as a distinct market advantage as carriers look to enhance their virtual private networking (VPN) offerings with network-based security services.

"Quarry's system addresses the security requirements of carriers and their clients, enabling providers to offer new billable services in a simple and cost-effective way," stated Giuliano Maurizi, General Manager of Tecnonet. "Our mission is to help carriers and enterprise clients solve their problems and simplifying their daily operations. We are very excited of this alliance with Quarry, since their security service routers meet those goals out of the box. There really isn't anything comparable today on the market."

Avi Legmann, senior vice president of sales and business development at Quarry Technologies, agrees that there is a great deal of opportunity as carriers search for solutions to address ongoing security concerns. "The European marketplace is a significant one for Quarry and we are very pleased to be working with Tecnonet to offer service providers in that region a means to offer a menu of network-based security services and to stay one step ahead of the constant barrage of security breaches from worms, viruses, denial of service attacks, and add value to their VPN services at the same time."
