Vista IT Group Achieves Gold Status in Lenovo's New Data Center Group Partner Program
Grand Rapids, MI (PRWEB) April 11, 2017 -- Vista IT Group announced today they have been elevated to Gold Partner status in Lenovo's new Data Center Group (DCG) channel program.
Officially launched in April to coincide with Lenovo's new fiscal year and their upcoming Accelerate Partner Conference in Orlando, the Data Center Group program recognizes Lenovo's largest partners for their product expertise and sales growth in Lenovo's enterprise portfolio of System x servers, V series, S series and Storwise storage, and their Flex system line of Hyperconverged blades.
The DCG Program is "extremely important in our evolution from our System x acquisition from IBM." said Sammy Kinlaw, North American Channel Chief at Lenovo, in a recent Channel Partners article. Lenovo's goal for the new DCG program is to combine the most reliable x86 server architecture in the industry with best vendors in the marketplace. “We’re focusing on the client, data center, premium markets, and the key verticals for growth," Kinlaw went on to say in an interview with CRN.
Lenovo Gold Partner Status is reserved for only a select group of elite resellers representing one of the highest partner tiers attainable. In less than two years, Vista IT was able to achieve this designation by obtaining the highest level of technical certifications and surpassing lofty Data Center revenue growth targets. "Lenovo's new DCG partner program is a game changer for our Lenovo practice," said Steve Taylor, Vista's General Manager. "By hitting both the certification and revenue goals to be a Gold Partner, all sorts of doors are opening that are helping to grow our business." Lenovo's investments in growing channel partners include development programs and access to dedicated resources whose sole purpose is to provide a unique customer experience when evaluating Lenovo platforms.
