Stalwart announced today that it has achieved Advanced Data Center Architecture Specialization from Cisco, becoming the first Carolinas-based company to earn this designation. This new specialization recognizes Stalwart as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deliver and support comprehensive Cisco^® data center architectures in the U.S. This series of training and testing from Cisco focuses on three core areas: Unified Fabric for optimizing data and storage needs; Unified Computing for streamlining data center resources and uniting network, computational, storage and virtualization platforms; and Unified Network Services for advancing the way application delivery and security services are provided in the data center network or computing environment. 

 

Stalwart’s investment in training for Advanced Data Center Architectures is one of many testaments to its commitment to quality.  The company can now offer greater value to its clients by making their data center infrastructures more efficient and flexible. By incorporating this knowledge, clients will realize extended life cycles on existing infrastructures, reduced total cost of ownership, and accelerated business growth.   Sr. Director of Performance Management, Brent Brackin stated, “The Cisco Advanced Data Center Specialization is an important component of our market leadership goal in the Data Center/Virtualization space. Stalwart’s offering now consists of technology innovations from leading companies such as Cisco, VMware, EMC, and Trend Micro.”

 

Charlotte Area Practice Manager, Elton Wright, commented on the achievement, “As a professional services IT engineering firm, we put a lot of focus on ensuring our engineers are well trained and capable of delivering the solutions we promote.  Formalizing our data center certification by completing Cisco’s Advanced Data Center Specialization is indicative of the hard work and training our engineers are known for.  Cisco’s Advanced Data Center Specialization is another pillar that complements Stalwart’s existing specializations in Unified Communications, Wireless and Security.”
