iVision, a leading technology solution provider has been named a Cisco DCUC ATP Partner as well as a NetApp IVA Partner. To date, only 100 companies have achieved Cisco DCUC ATP partner status in North America, of which, only 59 have also received NetApp’s IVA (Imagine Virtually Anything) Partner recognition as well. As one of only a handful of dual certified companies, iVision stands at the forefront of an evolutionary shift in data center technology and solutions.

The Virtualized Data Center and IVA

Legacy siloed data center models suffer from low utilization, gross inefficiency and an inability to respond quickly to changing business needs. Riding an architectural shift influenced by virtualization, leading manufacturers Cisco, VMware and NetApp are collaboratively driving a new dynamic data center model that utilizes shared resource pools across server, network and storage layers. This collaboration – known as Imagine Virtually Anything – helps today’s companies optimize virtualization, reduce the data center’s TCO, provide dynamic, agile resource provisioning.

iVision’s Investment In Dynamic Data Center Solutions

In harmony with this shift, iVision’s DCUC and IVA partnerships align with the company’s nationally recognized IT Solutions across compute, storage, network and virtualization layers. Today, iVision delivers powerful data center solutions to a renowned portfolio of household name clients throughout the Southeast.

Looking forward, iVision will continue to utilize its cutting-edge Solution Center - a $3.5M data center lab and learning environment - to help companies plan, test and validate next generation IT solutions through a hands on, collaborative approach. Utilizing the Solution Center, IT professionals work side-by-side with iVision technology experts to discover and deploy the best solution for their infrastructure.

To qualify as a Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider (DCUC) and NetApp Imagine Virtually Anything (IVA) Partner, iVision had to meet a number of requirements. These included achieving the Cisco Data Center Networking Infrastructure Specialization and the Cisco Data Center Storage Networking Specialization, completing a series of NetApp certifications as well as demonstrating mature competencies in server, storage and virtualization technologies.
