Tech Data, a global distributor and solutions aggregator, has announced a distribution partnership with DevOps platform vendor GitLab across the Asia Pacific region.
GitLab’s DevSecOps platform will be available through Tech Data in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, and Japan.

“Asia Pacific is expected to witness a market growth of 26.3% during the forecast period (2021-2030) due to rising demand for process automation, increasing number of startups, and rapid digital transformation.”
“Through our partnership with GitLab, we believe we can accelerate application modernization and provide a complete and secure portfolio of DevOps solutions,” Wong added.
GitLab says its open source DevSecOps platform allows organizations to maximize overall software development revenue by delivering software faster and more efficiently while enhancing security and compliance.
The platform aims to provide all DevOps tools from ideation to operations in a single platform.
This offering will be made available through Tech Data’s Center of Excellence, a service that enables partner communities using the Practice Builder enablement framework, and an as-a-service offering.
Dirk de Vos, Director of GitLab APAC Channel, said, “We are excited to build a strong partnership with Tech Data.”
“We would like to join the GitLab Partner Program across the Asia Pacific region and would like to see the additional expertise that Tech Data can provide, not only in support of that region, but also in its Centers of Excellence. I’m looking forward to it,” he added.
In 2020, GitLab strengthened its local sales and channel teams and expanded its focus on the Australian market after launching its global partner program two months ago.
Last month, Tech Data announced the deepening of its partnership with Cloudera in the APJ region.
Tech Data announced in March that it was the first Australian destination to achieve Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner status in the AWS Partner Network (APN).
Tech Data launched an enhanced cloud services portfolio in Australia in February.
