Former HP heavyweight to run A10 Networks

Applications networking company A10 Networks has appointed Greg Barnes as its new managing director, Australia and New Zealand.

Barnes was previously HP's general manager, enterprise security products, South Pacific. Prior to that, he spent five years as country manager for Aruba Networks.

According to Barnes, “The ANZ market is hungry for a new tech leader that is nimble and responsive."

He said A10 was well positioned to satisfy growing demand for cloud and security within the application networking space. "With increased focus in the market on DDoS, CGN and IPv6 migration, A10 continues to become more important.”
