Westcon-Comstor has partnered with Meter, a California-based Networking-as-a-Service (NaaS) provider, to become its first distributor across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA). This agreement introduces Meter’s vertically integrated networking solution, which bundles hardware, software, and managed services into a single subscription, to the EMEA market.

• Meter's NaaS model is priced based on site size, not individual devices, and includes co-managed deployment, ongoing support, and lifecycle upgrades.
• Daniel Hurel, Senior Vice President, Westcon EMEA Go-To-Market at Westcon-Comstor, stated that Meter offers a "fresh, simple and profitable approach to networking" and a "true utility network model, perfect for the channel."
• This partnership is expected to drive recurring, margin-rich revenue streams for channel partners, particularly in emerging markets where subscription-based models can shift spending from Capex to Opex.
