Customer Quotes
Rajinder Gill, Group Finance Director, Minor, Weir & Willis Ltd…
“Our business needed a complete network and infrastructure upgrade in order to implement a new ERP system. VSPEX was an obvious fit for our environment and working closely with Synapse, we reduced our deployment and integration time. The prior validation work performed by Cisco, EMC and Synapse on VSPEX reduced our risk and complexity. Because of the tight integration between EMC, Cisco and VSPEX, we have decided to leverage the VSPEX platform as the primary core of our network and infrastructure for all current and future applications.”
Indu Kodukula, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, SunGard Availability Service…
“We want to devote our IT resources to developing new innovative automation tools for high-availability services, not building out infrastructure. The pre-integrated Vblock System architecture relieves our staff from having to make different vendors and solutions work together.”
Channel Partner Quotes
Joe Coxon, Business Development Manager, Synapse
“Many of the customers we work with want to deploy a cloud, but aren’t quite sure how to do so quickly and easily. VSPEX is a powerful solution that helps us deploy clouds for our customers quickly and efficiently. By leveraging our expert understanding of client requirements, and Cisco’s and EMC’s industry-leading technologies, we can deliver a complete solution that matches our customers’ business needs.”
Dave Hart, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, Presidio
“We deliver the ultimate in choice and flexibility to our customers by offering solutions based on EMC and Cisco technologies. We’re seeing a lot of demand for Vblock Systems with larger enterprise and service provider customers and VSPEX configurations allow us to reach a broader market. Both enable us to provide our unique expertise and differentiated value to help customers meet their business requirements.”
Cisco Quote
Rick Snyder, Vice President, Global and Strategic Partners, Cisco
