Maria Richards, technical director at Kelway, said: “For customers looking for Cisco advice, consultancy and implementation it represents the ultimate badge of trust and confidence, and makes us the right choice for all their datacentre virtualisation and unified computing needs.”
Bernadette Wightman, managing director of channels for Cisco UK & Ireland, said: “Gold certification demonstrates the strongest possible partnership with Cisco and a focus on the technology needs of customers at the very highest level.”

“We view this accreditation as part of a strategic move towards the delivery of services and solutions in the converged datacentre,” he said.
