NCE receives the VIP treatment
Reseller secures VMware accreditation
Storage VAR NCE Computer Group (Europe) has achieved VMware VIP Enterprise Partner status.
The reseller, which has been working towards the accreditation since the end of last year, said the appointment is for VMWare servers.
Sam Chandler, marketing manager at NCE, said: “Previously, we were just accredited on VMware storage, so this accreditation is a big deal for us.
“It means we can now provide support around both servers and storage and this will hopefully increase business. A lot of our customers have not yet realised that we now provide support for servers, so we are going to push this hard into the market. Virtualisation is the future of storage and servers, so we want to get into this sector.”
John Greenwood, product sales director at NCE, said: “Both our current and prospective customers are looking to engage a partner that not only understands the storage virtualisation element, but can apply this to server virtualisation. Our formal accreditation as an Enterprise Partner with VMware endorses our ability to scope, provide and support a complete virtualisation solution.”
Matthew Piercy, channel director for northern Europe at VMware, welcomed NCE on board.
“Given NCE’s success in the storage virtualisation market, it joins us as a strategic Enterprise Partner
aligned with our business model,” he said. “NCE’s knowledge of data storage and how it aligns with our products will be valuable in its solution delivery.”
