Why Softcat for Cisco?
We are well established in the Cisco channel and are one of the UK’s fastest growing partners.
We have invested heavily in the partnership to build a broad knowledge across the established networking and security portfolios, but also in exciting new technologies Cisco is bringing to market, perfectly complementing our existing expertise in these areas.
We now design and deploy a variety of solutions including:
Traditional Networking – switching and routing from core to edge to help create borderless networks
Security – both traditional perimeter technology as well as more advanced solutions like Ironport and Scansafe
Unified Comms – using the latest business collaboration tools to help connect people and enable office productivity
Unified Computing Solutions – including the latest Cisco blade technology and storage networking to radically simplify traditional architectures and deliver end-to-end optimisation for virtualised environments
Because of our wide expertise we are well placed to integrate multiple Cisco technologies into a single solution. As you’d expect we also support all of these solutions through our Infrastructure, Networking and Security practices where our team of dedicated experts deliver responsive, reliable services based on your needs. For customers in the public sector we are also accredited under the Cisco Public Sector Partner Program enabling us to provide best value solutions to organisations in Local Government, Central Government, Healthcare, Education, Defence and the Emergency Services.
