Slough, UK, 29th April 2010: Logicalis
announced today that it is the recipient of a Cisco Partner Summit
regional award for Data Centre and Virtualisation Partner of the
Year. Cisco unveiled the winners on April 28 at its annual channel
partner conference in San Francisco.
"It is an honour to present Logicalis as a Cisco Partner Summit
regional award winner," said Thierry Drilhon, vice president,
worldwide partner organisation, Europe, at Cisco. “Data Centre and
Virtualisation Partner of the Year recognises Logicalis’
performance and achievements as a Cisco channel partner in Europe
in 2009.”
"To be named Cisco Data Centre and Virtualisation Partner of the
Year for the second year running is an excellent achievement. We
are fully committed to delivering first-class data centre solutions
across the UK, and working with Cisco to fully exploit its industry
leading technology for our customer’s operational and financial
benefit," commented Tom Kelly, MD of Logicalis UK.
"Data centre evolution has firmly held industry focus over the
past 12 months and this has brought with it both innovation and
constraints," continued Kelly. "Customers now demand highly
virtualised and fully integrated and optimised data centre
infrastructures, and want to understand how they can reap the
rewards of strategies such as cloud computing. At Logicalis we’ve
long understood that it’s not about building them bigger - it’s
about building them better! Without doubt, our ongoing
collaboration with Cisco is driving business value for our
customer’s data centre decisions."
Cisco Partner Summit awards are presented at three levels:
regional, theatre and global. Cisco Partner Summit Europe regional
awards reflect a partner’s performance in a geographic region of
Europe.
