At the Cisco Partner Summit 2024 in Los Angeles, ITI was named Partner of the Year, cloud infrastructure, for the Canada region.
This recognition is a testament to the joint growth of ITI and Cisco, as the past few months have brought about a significant change in the IT landscape: the acquisition of VMware by Broadcom. This disruptive element in the industry — and the questions it raises about virtualization solutions — has helped solidify the partnership between ITI and Cisco from a server and storage infrastructure perspective, in hyperconverged or Azure Stack mode.
Hybrid Cloud : Unique Security Challenges, Cisco Solutions
While hybrid infrastructures are the solution for many companies for compliance, compatibility or security reasons, the hybrid approach brings its share of specific considerations, particularly when it comes to data protection. ITI ensures that it meets these challenges, thanks in part to Cisco’s solutions.
No matter what private or public cloud our customers use, with their own security considerations, ITI offers a complete Cisco hybrid cloud solution, including network infrastructure, servers, and cybersecurity tools. For us, Cisco solutions address all kinds of security challenges across different clouds, with the necessary services, hardware, and software, such as Cisco MultiCloud Defense and Cisco Secure Access.
ITI and Cisco: a strong and lasting partnership
For more than 15 years, ITI and Cisco have been working together to accelerate their mutual growth in Quebec and Canada. This Partner of the Year title is proof of this, as are the many Cisco specializations of ITI experts:
- Advanced Enterprise Networks Architecture Specialization
- Advanced Security Architecture Specialization
- Hybrid Cloud Computing Solution Specialization
- Hybrid Cloud Networking Solution Specialization
ITI holds the Cisco Premier Integrator role, which is a testament to the quality of our consulting service to design and deploy customer experiences with Cisco solutions.
Cisco and Nutanix trial session at ITI
As a testament to the strength of our partnership, Cisco chose ITI to host a trial and training session on the modernization of their application platform, a core of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). This technical meeting will take place in our Laval offices on January 16.
« This test drive will be an opportunity to test Cisco Intersight, Cisco Compute & Networking Fabric and Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure products. These solutions have the potential to propel businesses forward, as the Cisco application platform is at the heart of a modernized infrastructure. »
