International Information Systems Group Earns Avocent Data Center Solutions Accreditation
International Information Systems Group among first companies to receive accreditation upon completion of data center solutions training
Feasterville, PA, March 10, 2008 –International Information Systems Group (IIS) today announced it is among the first wave of graduates from Avocent’s initial VAR accreditation training program for data center solutions, one of several initiatives planned this year to help partners further expand their Avocent expertise and offer increased value to customers. The course prepared IIS to leverage Avocent’s individual data center products to deliver end-to-end data center management for its customers.
IIS’ iCenter 2.0 solutions offer companies large and small the critical service, products and expertise required for establishing secure, optimal data center environments.
“IIS’ expertise and thought leadership on data center best practices includes partnering with well-respected, industry-leading firms such as Avocent,” explained Andrew Graham, director of data center solutions for IIS. “We’re proud to be among the first to earn this accreditation.”
The accreditation course is centered around Avocent’s data center solutions, including both technical training on individual products as well as training regarding the integration of solutions to deliver efficient end-to-end data center administration. Avocent solutions streamline management into a single console to help IT staff work more effectively. In addition to specialized training on industry-leading DSR® switches and Cyclades ACS serial console managers, the accreditation training program cover these unique Avocent solutions:

“Undergoing Avocent’s new accreditation program demonstrates an impressive commitment to improving a company’s knowledge of how Avocent solutions work together in the data center to better inform and build solution for their customers,” said Steve Hammond, director of channel marketing at Avocent. “We’re pleased to recognize International Information Systems Group as one of the first companies to receive the distinction of corporate accreditation from Avocent.”
