About Our Customer
Family Zone is a leading Australian cyber safety company that features a
unique response to the challenges of today’s connected learning environments. With the trust of hundreds of
schools across Australia, New Zealand and the US, the company assists schools and communities by maintaining
a duty of care through cyber-safety as a holistic solution.
Family Zone designed their solution around Supermicro technology (after previously sourcing from New Zealand
before getting in contact with us). After better understanding their business and their specific budget and
hardware requirements, we offered a solution that met their long-term needs.
“Our case was simple. We needed hardware for our servers and
DiGiCOR was found as the main distributor in Australia with great reviews. The hardware provided by DiGiCOR
works as expected, their sales service is outstanding and their technical support.”
- Daniel, Success Manager of Family Zone
Highlights

Challenges
The company was looking for a reliable, local partner to supply Supermicro products for their business operations in Australia. They also required that their specified hardware was as flexible and reliable as white-box solutions for their cyber-safety appliances. In addition, with Family Zone’s client demands, a local supplier was required to service all across Australia and New Zealand. They set requirements and expectations of timely delivery in order to satisfy their business operations and longevity within the ANZ market.
