Computacenter is new kid on Vblock

Reseller giant named as first UK channel partner for Cisco, VMware and EMC joint venture

Computacenter is the first UK reseller to be signed up by VCE

Computacenter has become the first UK reseller to be signed as a partner by Cisco, VMware and EMC's Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) joint venture.

The deal gives Computacenter rights to sell Vblock packages, a virtualisation-enabling infrastructure featuring “best of breed” software from Cisco, VMware and EMC.

The resale giant said the addition of VCE's Vblock technology to its product portfolio company will help its customers to “take advantage of the IT efficiencies that private cloud implementation can provide.”

Terry Walby, director of solutions and technology at Computacenter, said: “As organisations look to increase their use of consolidated and shared infrastructures, we are delighted to be able to offer Vblock solutions, either in customers’ own environments, or provided as a service using Computacenter’s managed datacentre services.”
