CDI Expands Cloud Computing Portfolio With Radical Support Acquisition

ATLANTA, May 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Computer Design & Integration LLC (CDI) has acquired Atlanta-based IT services provider Radical Support dramatically expanding its capabilities in delivering both managed and cloud computing services.

This most recent addition to CDI is the result of a two-year search process identifying the best managed services companies on the east coast. The acquisition will enable CDI to deliver a complete suite of proactive support and maintenance for its clients through public, private, and hybrid cloud service models.

CDI can provide its customers with fixed-fee or variable-cost IT support services powered by Radical Support. These services will leverage Radical's proven processes and procedures, high customer satisfaction, and now the diverse geography of two SAS 70 Type II certified data centers ‒ Atlanta GA, and Secaucus NJ.

"This most recent acquisition enables CDI to fully realize our cloud computing vision," says Eric Bakker, CDI President and Chief Operating Office. "We can now offer a more complete set of services for customers in any market segment ‒ SMB, Commercial, or Enterprise. "

Adds Radical Support CEO John Carter, "This deal is a huge win for Radical Support's clients, dramatically extending their infrastructure and services options. Our clients can focus on their business strategy while Radical Support handles all of their technology needs."

CDI's managed services suite includes cloud hosting and grid services, back-up and disaster recovery solutions, network and e-mail management, 24x7x365 NOC monitoring and remediation, end-user helpdesk and technology services that support infrastructure from the desktop to the data center. Utilizing their new cloud vision, CDI & Radical Support look to expand on their existing success as independent companies to become the new leader in managed services and cloud computing.
