Leading Technology Provider Earns IBM Dynamic Infrastructure Specialty

    COLUMBUS, OH, November 23, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Logicalis, leading technology provider, earned IBM Specialty Elite level for the Dynamic Infrastructure Program. This program enables business partners to help deliver on IBM's smarter planet concept. The smarter planet is one that can help businesses improve service, reduce cost and manage risk, while accelerating growth.

"As the global economy continues to shift, there is a mandate for businesses to leverage technology to bring a new level of intelligence to how they operate," John Iffert, Logicalis VP of IBM Solutions said. "This honor from IBM recognizes Logicalis' ability to work with clients to align business and IT assets to support the overall goals of the business while taking a new, smarter and more streamlined approach."

IBM's Dynamic Infrastructure Specialty Program ensures IBM's strategic business partners, like Logicalis, are able to automate and build intelligence into clients' infrastructures, and significantly affect the way technology can improve businesses.

In order to reach the Elite level with IBM, Logicalis went through a rigorous certification process that spanned multiple technology disciplines within the data center. Also, a team of Logicalis specialists passed an IBM Practicum, which was a live three-day test in front of a panel of judges.

"The Elite status highlights Logicalis' ability to provide a consultative, solutions-led approach to technology solutions," John Iffert said. "IBM's primary initiatives for the Dynamic Infrastructure Specialty Program, including service management, cloud computing and virtualization, are services Logicalis excels in providing for our customers; we're truly honored to be recognized with this prestigious status for the work we do for our clients every day."
