Dimension Data Becomes Cisco’s First Global Intercloud Partner

Dimension Data and Cisco announced an expansion of their 23-year relationship with plans to accelerate and streamline hybrid cloud adoption globally, with Dimension Data becoming the first global Cisco Intercloud partner.

In March of this year, Cisco announced plans to build the world’s largest global Intercloud together with its partners to address customer requirements for a globally distributed, highly secure cloud platform capable of meeting the robust demands of the Internet of Everything. Designed for high-value application workloads, with real-time analytics and “near infinite” scalability, Cisco’s open Intercloud allows local hosting options that enable data sovereignty.

Cisco will use Dimension Data’s Managed Cloud Platform and SaaS solutions to deliver a suite of mid-market centric cloud services to its customers and resellers. Dimension Data and Cisco will partner to deliver an IaaS solution that will be packaged with Cisco technology and SaaS applications, including Microsoft SQL Server and SharePoint. The Cisco validated and branded solutions will be sold by Cisco and through its channel partner community.

Dimension Data’s global cloud service is available via 10 Managed Cloud Platforms around the world, with plans to expand to 13 locations by September 2014.
