Vblockbusting move for Westcon

Westcon has strengthened it's commitment to IT businesses across New Zealand, becoming the first distributor in the country with VCE System Architect certification.

Ivan Pecirov, a pre-sales consultant for the firm, became the first certified architect for the intelligent converged infrastructure systems across the country after completing the Vblock course in Singapore.

Westcon says the certification helps improve their support of customers in a new way of delivering IT to businesses in New Zealand.

VCE is a company established by Cisco and EMC designed to meet the changing needs of business.

Along with additional investments from VMware and Intel, the Vblock System was created, supporting a scalable infrastructure system using the vendor's combined technologies.

Deployments of Vblock Systems are rapidly growing as the main infrastructure powering public, private and hybrid clouds according to Westcon.

The company says Pecirov is available for technical support and advice across the VCE product suite, in particular, the VMware Data Center and Cloud solutions integrated with Vblock Systems.
