Two technicians become first to hold accreditation in the UK

Trustmarque has become the first channel partner authorised to sell Dell EMC's Elastic Cloud Storage (ECS) solution in the UK.

The Capita-owned firm said that two of its technical services architects completed bespoke training last month, making them the first non-Dell engineers to be qualified in the region.

Mark Garrity, managing director at Trustmarque, said: "We know that unstructured data poses a big challenge to many organisations, yet at the present time no-one outside Dell Technologies can deploy ECS in the UK.

"We're proud to be named a partner of choice and are excited to be able to make these great technologies available to more organisations.

"Our aim is to be the leading IT partner for object and cloud storage in the UK so we can enable organisations to streamline their datacentre infrastructure and reap the benefits of digital transformation."

Dell said that Titanium partner Trustmarque's "strong ability to provide strategic and consultative support to customers going through digital transformation was critical to the partnership and the certification".

Charles Wilce, senior sales director for unstructured data in EMEA, said: "[Trustmarque's] significant investment clearly demonstrates a long-term commitment to a great partnership with Dell for unstructured data solutions.

"Alliances with consultative lead organisations such as Trustmarque - that are highly skilled and who can support customers with their IT transformation journey - are essential for the Dell EMC Unstructured Data Solutions business.

"Together, we are now poised to jointly capitalise on a whole range of new emerging workloads requiring a world-class object-based platform."
