May 2010

Computacenter announced today that it is the recipient of a Cisco Partner Summit regional award for Enterprise Partner of the Year. Cisco unveiled the winners at its recent annual channel partner conference in San Francisco.

“It is an honour to present Computacenter as a Cisco Partner Summit regional award winner,” said Thierry Drilhon, Vice President, Worldwide Partner Organisation, Europe, at Cisco. “The Enterprise Partner of the Year Award recognises Computacenter’s performance and achievements as a Cisco channel partner in Europe in 2009.”

Adrian Foxall, Networking Director at Computacenter commented: “Cisco is a key partner for Computacenter in delivering cost-effective and innovative solutions to our customers. Cisco’s technologies are at the heart of our tier IV datacentre, which helps organisations achieve the highest level of IT availability at an affordable price.” “Cisco technologies will play a fundamental role in helping organisations establish scalable and reliable virtual datacentres. We were the first organisation in the UK to deploy a VCE vBlock 2, which our customers can use to validate their datacentre transformation plans. We are delighted to have been selected for this accolade by such an important partner.”

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 the region.

Bernadette Wightman, managing director, Channels, Cisco UK & Ireland, commented: “Our partnership with Computacenter provides great alignment across both organisations – from board level to sales teams. The close alignment to our architectures, particularly virtualisation, demonstrates the breadth of opportunity for our joint growth going forward.”
