This specialisation recognises Logicalis as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deliver and support comprehensive Cisco® data centre solutions.
Tom Kelly, managing director of Logicalis, comments; “Accreditations from our vendor partners are critical in maintaining our reputation for excellence. Logicalis' breadth of computing and communications expertise distinguishes us in the data centre market, and this specialisation from Cisco enables us to demonstrate our knowledge and expertise in an area of IT that is of significant importance to our customers, particularly in light of the economic climate and environmental challenges facing UK plc.”
“As a Cisco Advanced DCNI Specialised Partner, Logicalis' investment in the training required to provide integrated, collaborative and adaptive data centre networking solutions ranks it among the industry's most qualified,” said Bernadette Wightman, director of channels at Cisco.
The Cisco Advanced DCNI Specialisation is designed to help enable partners to address the requirements that enterprise and commercial customers face in deploying a wide range of data centre technologies and applications.
