AUBURN HILLS, Mich., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Netarx, LLC announced today that it has achieved Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from Cisco. This designation recognizes Netarx as having fulfilled the training and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) in the United States.

The Cisco Unified Computing System unites network, computational, storage access and virtualization resources in a single energy-efficient system that reduces the costs and complexity of information technology (IT) infrastructure, helps extend capital assets and improves business agility well into the future. A new computing model, the Cisco Unified Computing System, uses integrated management and combines a "wire once" unified fabric with an industry-standard computing platform to optimize virtualization, reduce the data center's total overall cost and provide dynamic resource provisioning for businesses that are becoming increasingly collaborative, mobile and distributed.

"The days of the stand alone server are numbered and a new computing paradigm shift is underway. Virtualization is the disruptive technology leading this move and architecting the right infrastructure will enable businesses to capitalize on these new abilities," said Michael Souders, Netarx President and COO. "Our accreditations as a Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider, an EMC Authorized Services Network (ASN) and a VMware Authorized Consulting (VAC) partner demonstrates our ability to help our customers understand and benefit from these new business-enabling capabilities. Netarx is well-positioned to transform and accelerate our customer's business by taking their virtual computing environments to the next step."

"Taking advantage of an architectural shift in the data center, Cisco's new computing model helps customers transform the data center into a dynamic IT environment with the power to increase productivity, improve efficiency and drive virtualization to an entirely new level," said John Growdon, director, Worldwide Channels Go-to-Market Group at Cisco. "As a Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider, Netarx is a member of an elite ecosystem of industry leaders working with Cisco to stimulate technology innovation, augment service delivery and accelerate the market adoption of unified computing."

To qualify as a Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider, Netarx had to meet a number of stringent requirements. These included achieving the Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure Specialization and the Cisco Data Center Storage Networking Specialization as well as demonstrating mature competencies in server, storage and virtualization technologies.

Cisco's Authorized Technology Provider Program is part of a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for emerging and advanced technologies. The program helps Cisco to define the knowledge, skills and services that channel partners need to sell, deploy and support these technologies. As the market changes, an ATP status is often the precursor to a Cisco specialization.
