ATLANTA – August 13, 2012: A leading technology and data center solutions provider, Confiance IP Solutions, a Onepath Systems company, announced that it has acquired the distinction of EMC 2012 Velocity Solution Provider Premier status. This special designation is achieved only by those that pass EMC’s stringent sales and system engineer accreditation process. Additionally, Confiance had to meet EMC’s Consolidate Specialty requirements which included certification of implementation engineers and technical architects for EMC VNX storage and RecoverPoint. Only a select group of providers are chosen each year due to the rigorous nature of the Velocity Solution Provider certification process.

By pursuing this elevated status and investing in significant additional training, Confiance is better able to guide customers through the successful architecture and implementation of EMC-based solutions. “The achievement of EMC Premier Partner status is a great milestone for Confiance and we are honored to be one of the few partners to reach it,” says Richard Collins, Vice President of Engineering Services with Confiance. “Our sales and engineering teams have worked diligently to achieve this goal and we are all proud of the validation that it represents. It demonstrates our commitment to EMC technology solutions, our commitment to be technology leaders for our customers and our capability to design and deliver industry-leading data center architectures.”

“Congratulations to Confiance on making Premier Partner status with EMC,” says EMC’s Mid-Atlantic Regional Partner Manager Jim Quercetti. “We’ve experienced rapid growth in our partnership and this new status is a testament to Confiance’s capabilities around EMC and our mutual clients’ data center needs. Confiance has a great team that is well positioned to help our customers with their business and IT initiatives. We’re looking forward to continued growth and success in our partnership with Confiance.”
