Avnet Technology Solutions and Cisco have marked their fifth anniversary of partnership in the data center market.
Avnet has built and developed a community of specialized solution provider partners during this time that use Cisco to create next-generation data centers for their customers, through the use of Cisco-based integrated infrastructure systems.
In 2009, Cisco selected Avnet as its specialty distributor in the U.S. and Canada. Avnet’s relationship with Cisco then expanded to include Europe in 2010 and further increased with the addition of Latin America and the Caribbean in 2013.
“With the incredible pace of change, this is one of the most exciting times in the technology industry, and it has been a privilege to help Cisco penetrate the rapidly evolving data center market,” said Denny O’Connell, senior vice president and general manager for Converged and Data Solutions at Avnet Technology Solutions, Americas. “Avnet has steadily built a strong partner community for Cisco in the Americas that has both the technical and consultative sales expertise required by customers in this specialized market segment. Avnet supports our partner community with a wealth of resources and unique technical integration capabilities that not only jump-started Cisco and our partners’ success in the first five years of the relationship, but laid a foundation for growth well into the future. We thank Cisco for the five-year partnership and look forward to our joint continued success in the future.”
