| Source: Atrion
WARWICK, RI -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 2, 2007 -- Atrion Networking Corporation, a systems
integrator and network services provider, today announced that it recently
joined the APC-MGE Gold Certified Partner Program.
Atrion's certified technical professionals are now capable of designing and
implementing data-center power, cooling, and management solutions for its
customers using APC-MGE's online configuration tools. Atrion's certified
professionals now can design APC-MGE InfraStruXure® systems up to 80kW,
which now gives the firm the ability to provide its customers with the
popular InfraStruXure architecture for data centers.
InfraStruXure is on-demand architecture for physical infrastructure. The
InfraStruXure architecture design, which integrates power, cooling, rack,
management and services, allows the selection of standardized components to
create a data-center solution through modular and mobile configurations.
By using standardized components, the architecture easily scales to meet
changing needs and future expansion. This award-winning, patent-pending
approach provides increased availability, improved adaptability and speed
of deployment as well as lower total cost of ownership for IT environments
-- from wiring closets to server rooms to data centers.
"The APC-MGE Gold Certification is important to both us and our clients,"
said Mark Moretti, Atrion's director of sales. "It gives us the expertise
we need to thoroughly articulate the benefits of InfraStruXure to our
clients and to support them in their design and implementation of the
solution."
The APC-MGE Gold Certification also allows Atrion to get involved in
discussions with clients about the strategy they have in mind for their
data-center build or upgrade.
"InfraStruXure has helped us to further differentiate ourselves and to
build higher levels of client satisfaction, technical expertise and
profitability," Moretti added.
This specialization is targeted at a full range of clients, from small to
medium businesses through enterprise-level markets, and focuses on
opportunities that require advanced product knowledge and the ability to
deploy solutions over multiple sites and geographies.
"We wish to congratulate Atrion on achieving APC-MGE Gold Certified Partner
status," said Peter Poulin, APC-MGE Vice President of Sales for North
America. "Atrion Networking Corporation joins an elite group of firms that
have proven competency in delivering APC's InfraStruXure solutions quickly
and efficiently. It is extremely gratifying to see our channel partners,
such as Atrion, embrace APC-MGE and make us an essential part of the
customer offerings."
