To remain on the cutting edge of enterprise networking as the role of the network expands, Cisco last year implemented three new enterprise architecture specializations: Data Center, Borderless Networks and Collaboration.
As Cisco’s fastest-growing national partner, Zones has embraced Cisco’s architectural approach.
Our certification process — and our engineering and technical resources — have been mapped to this new architectural approach and the growth potential it brings. This enables Zones to retain our coveted Cisco Gold Partner status, as well as better serve our customers.
“We’re in complete alignment,” says Ray Coleman, the Cisco national partner account manager who oversees his company’s relationship with Zones.
What this means is incredible synergies between Zones and Cisco in providing solutions that address your organization’s new and emerging networking needs.
Here’s a quick look at each architecture specialization:
■ Data Center: Today’s data center must be capable of seamlessly incorporating cloud application and services. Trust Zones to be your adviser when it comes to Cisco’s Unified Data Center platform, which combines compute, storage, network and management for operational simplicity and business agility — essential for cloud computing and deploying IT as a service.
■ Borderless Networks: This mobility-focused technical architecture enables organizations to connect anyone, anywhere, anytime and on any device. Zones is your expert for Cisco switches, routers, wireless systems, and security and network management solutions that improve your organization’s mobility tools and network systems from access to the cloud.
■ Collaboration: This architecture emphasizes secure and reliable network access from any location, a consistent user experience on any device, and the delivery of voice, video and data for immersive interaction. Let Zones be your guide for Cisco collaboration solutions such as web conferencing and voice and unified communications.
