SCC first to attain top AMD Fusion partner status

Integrator will use vendor's technology to grow public sector and enterprise business

Integrator SCC claims to have become the first UK channel firm to attain top-tier status within the AMD Fusion partner programme.

SCC said joining forces with the chip maker would support its plans for growth within the UK server market, as well as in the enterprise and public sector.

The programme will provide SCC with access to marketing resources, as well as sales and technical training on AMD's Opteron processor technology.

Andy Wright, director of vendor alliances at SCC, said: "We will harness the capability of the AMD Opteron processor platform, which sits at the heart of the server and blade infrastructure, to help customers build the datacentres of the future."

Jon Shortland, UK SMB channel manager at AMD, added: "We are keen to grow our position in the enterprise and public sector, and the addition of SCC to our AMD Fusion Partner Programme is a step forward for AMD in these key areas."
