Host.net Achieves Cisco Powered Metro Ethernet and Hosting/Colocation Designations
BOCA RATON, Fla.-- March 11th, 2009 -- Host.net, a leading provider of colocation, network transport and transit services, and its subsidiary, WV Fiber, announced today that it has established the resources and procedures to deploy, manage and support Cisco Powered Metro Ethernet and Hosting/Colocation services
Host.net Co-founder & CEO Jeffrey Davis said: "we have been loyal proponents of Cisco for over 10 years. These designations highlight our commitment to quality and confirms to our clients and prospects why Host.net is the right choice for colocation and connectivity solutions."
The Cisco Powered Program sets the standard for recognizing a solution provider’s investment in the tools and processes necessary to provide high-quality network-based managed services. A Cisco Powered designation not only acknowledges that the managed service provider has invested in industry-leading Cisco solutions, but also entitles the solutions provider to take advantage of Cisco resources to envision, build, market and sell its managed services, contributing to market acceptance and adoption.
"Adopting managed services allows companies to align IT and business goals, enabling them to focus scarce internal resources on their core competencies while servicing day-to-day IT infrastructure and operational needs through technology delivered as a service," said Jeff Spagnola, vice president of worldwide managed services for Cisco. "By achieving Cisco Powered designations, Host.net has made an investment in obtaining the training, skills and knowledge necessary to play a pivotal role in meeting this increasing demand."
