Bloomfield Hills, MI, (PRWEB) June 2 2009 -- Logicalis, an international leader in high-performance technology solutions (http://www.us.logicalis.com/), is recognized as data center solutions experts with the Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Advanced Technology Program specialization.

Proving its commitment to understanding and solving the unique challenges of customers, Logicalis met all Managed Services (http://www.us.logicalis.com/managed-services.html) ATP remote program requirements and criteria necessary to earn the designation of Cisco ATP Data Center Unified Computing Partner in the US. This allows Logicalis to sell and implement Cisco's new Unified Computing System (UCS) platform to customers. Logicalis is one of the first Cisco Gold Partners to acquire this new specialization from Cisco.

"The data center (http://www.us.logicalis.com/dc/) runs the day-to-day business of every organization today," Bob Hankins, VP Cisco Solutions said. "More than anything we see IT leaders focusing on how technology can transform the running of the business, uncover new revenue streams and support customer retention, acquisition and growth. These are areas IT has not historically focused on, but today IT is expected to make a significant business impact beyond just keeping things running. Through this designation, we are able to provide our customers with another way to increase over all data center efficiency and utilization all while driving profitability for our clients through smart investments."

Logicalis devoted a focused effort to increase the level of Cisco sales and support capabilities by meeting the rigorous Cisco certified personnel levels required to be an ATP Data Center Unified Computing Partner. Therefore, Logicalis sales and support organizations are better prepared to properly sell, design, install and support the ATP program-specific technology and products.

"An honor like this demonstrates our desire to develop expertise in the new world of complex networking technologies," Hankins continued. "Logicalis and the Cisco account management team will continue working together to develop and enhance our mutual capabilities to support our customers desire to drive measurable value in their organizations."
