LAKE FOREST, CA, August 19, 2010 - Technologent, a leading global provider of technology infrastructure solutions, launches a series of seminars focused the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) coalition, formed jointly by Cisco and EMC with VMware. The seminars are designed to introduce customers to the power of private cloud computing. The seminars are currently scheduled in Las Vegas, Dallas and Los Angeles.
The Virtual Computing Environment coalition (VCE) represents an unprecedented level of collaboration in development, services, and partner enablement that reduces risk in the infrastructure virtualization journey to the private cloud. The VCE coalition offers organizations of all sizes an accelerated approach to data center transformation with dramatic efficiencies that promise significant reductions in both capital and operating expenses. As a result, organizations will no longer have to choose between best-of-breed technologies and end-to-end vendor accountability.
With the introduction of Vblock TM Infrastructure Packages, the Virtual Computing Environment coalition will provide customers with a fundamentally better approach to streamlining and optimizing IT strategies around private clouds. In addition, Technologent offers proven methodologies to interchangeably leverage both the private and public clouds to sustain utility based computing bursts and minimize infrastructure total ownership costs. Vblock Infrastructure Packages are fully integrated, tested, validated, and ready-to-go/ready-to-grow infrastructure packages that combine best-in-class virtualization, networking, computing, storage, security, and management technologies from Cisco, EMC and VMware with end-to-end vendor accountability.
"Technologent is one of only six partners in the Unites States who is authorized to provide VBlock 0, 1 and 2 infrastructure offerings," said Marco Mohajer, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Technologent. "We embrace the Virtual Computing Environment Coalition’s vision for the future of the virtual data center and are pleased to be part of the Vblock partner ecosystem, providing our customers with collaborative service offerings from three of our key cornerstone partners -- Cisco, EMC and VMware.
