Bytes awarded Cisco Borderless Network certification

Johannesburg, 12 Dec 2012

Bytes Systems Integration has achieved certification as an Advanced Cisco Borderless Network Architecture Specialised Partner. The new certification enables Bytes to sell and support solutions based on Cisco's next-generation network architecture.

"With the advent of the cloud computing model and the concept of anytime/anywhere computing - a trend fuelled by the BOYD 'bring-your-own-device' phenomenon - corporate networks are truly becoming borderless," says Patrick Hastings, divisional managing director: Advanced Technology Services at Bytes Systems Integration. "Creating and securing such networks depends on a robust, advanced communications platform as well as a flexible, next-generation network architecture. That's exactly what Cisco Borderless Network Architecture provides."

Hastings notes that as a Cisco Gold Partner, Bytes was happy to make the investment in obtaining this specialised certification. He says it will position Bytes to develop and deliver the borderless networking solutions required by our clients.

"The network truly is the business these days, and the business has to be able to connect with employees, partners and customers wherever they are and whatever devices they might be using," Hastings explains. "In addition, the increasing use of video content means that data volumes are growing exponentially. This certification is a vital tool in enabling us to craft network solutions to help our clients thrive in this new borderless business environment."
