Dimension Data has been honoured by Cisco at its 2012 Partner Summit with the 2011 Europe, Middle East, Africa and Russia (EMEAR) Partner of the Year.
Of significance is the fact that Dimension Data South Africa also won the Global Partner of the Year award. Cisco unveiled the winners at its annual channel partner conference held recently in San Diego, California.
Dimension Data has been awarded number one EMC partner status in South Africa. This accolade was presented on the back of a recent acknowledgement as part of an elite group of integrators to participate in the EMC Velocity2 Signature Solutions Centre Partnership Programme.
The accolade of number one EMC partner status in the country is based on the strength of Dimension Data’s long-standing relationship with EMC, its commitment to the development of skills, adherence to a stringent set of requirements, and overall revenue generated.
Information technology (IT) services provider Dimension Data, a Convergence Partners investee, has been awarded the contract to supply all IT services for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change seventeenth Conference of the Parties (COP 17) event.
The contract entails the supply of network, audio, visual, wireless and Internet connectivity across the Durban venue.
Less than two years after completing the undersea portion of the first system to connect Southern and Eastern Africa to the rest of the world via India and Europe, Convergence Partners’ investee company SEACOM continues to drive the growth of the African Internet by rolling-out an Internet Protocol, IP, Platform into its international core network.
The IP Platform project involves the design, deployment and operation of nine land-based Internet access points that will store popular web content closer to where the Internet is accessed, thereby enabling a richer and faster Internet browsing experience for end users. Six of these IP network nodes are already live including Dar es Salaam, Johannesburg, Maputo, Marseille, Mombasa and Mtunzini.
Dimension Data, the $4 billion IT solutions and services provider, has achieved Global Certification from Cisco. This elite designation recognises Dimension Data as having fulfilled the training requirements and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support Cisco® networking solutions around the globe. Dimension Data becomes one of four organisations with this elite status worldwide.
