MTI One of the First Integrators to Install and Sell Vblock in Europe
April 2010 by Marc Jacob
MTI, an international provider of consulting services and comprehensive information infrastructure solutions for mid- to large-size organisations, has become one of the first integrator to install and sell Vblock Infrastructure Packages in Europe. Vblocks are integrated and tested IT solutions stemming from the Virtual Computing Environment coalition, that combine virtualisation, networking, storage,
security, and management technologies by Cisco, EMC and VMware. Vblock 1,
the package MTI installed in its UK Solution Centre is based on Cisco’s
Unified Computing System (UCS), EMC’s CLARiiON storage system and VMware’s
vSphere 4 platform and it helps organisations accelerate their adoption of
private cloud environments while eliminating the risks traditionally
associated with the deployment of this IT model. MTI’s first client is
currently performing a live trial of the Vblock 1 at its award-winning
solution centre in Surrey UK.
MTI is positioned to offer Vblock solutions as it is certified to
the highest datacentre level with Cisco, EMC and VMware, holding the
Advanced Datacenter Partner Specialisation from Cisco UKI, having been an
EMC Velocity Signature Solutions Center Partner for many years, and having
recently announced its status as a VMware Premier partner. For organisations
looking to learn more about VCE coalition and Vblocks MTI offers a number of
workshops that enable IT administrators to better understand these packages
to ultimately make informed decisions.
