Force10 Networks picks Zycko as its first UK distributor

Force10 Networks, the pioneer in building and securing reliable, high performance networks, fits perfectly into Zycko’s open-standard award winning solution strategy.

David Galton-Fenzi, Zycko’s Group Sales Director, said: “We are pleased to announce our new partnership with Force10, adding an excellent product set to our already exciting portfolio. Force10 really is a market leader delivering more for less right now – more performance and more density, but less power, less heat, less space and less cost of ownership. Force10 complements both Zycko’s product strategy and our existing data centre environmental story.”

Zycko and Force10 aim to target a wider reseller base through the introduction of a new product, the C150 resilient switch, which delivers the reliability, network control and scalability that enterprises require to support existing business critical applications today as well as emerging applications in the future. Partnering with Zycko will enable Force10 to offer immediate value add to resellers, including professional services, needs analysis, system design and specification as well as installation and testing support.

Andrew Stewart, Vice President of Worldwide Channel Operations, at Force10 Networks, said: “There is a natural synergy between Zycko and Force10 in how we see the data centre and the value we can bring. As enterprises increasingly look to advanced technologies like virtualization to reduce cost and power consumption, it is important to have a partner that can simplify the deployment process.”

Zycko and Force10 are also pleased to announce they are hosting Velocity – a seminar to highlight Force10 in the UK to both existing and new resellers. The seminar will focus on best practices for deploying virtualised data centre environments and consolidating applications while optimizing power efficiency. Velocity will take place on May 7 at 10 am at the Institute of Directors (IoD) City Centre, New Broad Street, London.

Featured White Papers

  • Seven Best Practices for Speech Analytics: Speech analytics is valuable for identifying issues in the contact center. However, limiting its use to the contact center only considers a portion of all customer interactions and subsequently only reveals a small part of the voice of the customer. This paper discusses how organizations can optimize their Speech Analytics implementation strategy to realize the promise of this exciting technology.
  • Understanding the Voice of the Customer: Today's contact centers involve a sea of information that must be captured, processed, and distributed on a daily basis. Effective use of this information enables companies to remain competitive in an increasingly aggressive and customer centric marketplace. An overwhelming percentage of the information that circulates in a contact center's audio recordings, documents, web pages, and emails is unstructured in that it resides outside of a normal structured database and cannot be managed efficiently. These unstructured items contain valuable information, yet this information historically has been difficult to organize, categorize, and access.
