Dimension Data, the $5.8 billion global ICT solutions and services provider, has announced it is the recipient of Riverbed Partner of the Year 2012 for South Africa. This award is in addition to Dimension Data receiving Riverbed Technology Global System Integration Partner of the Year 2012 and the Global RASP Partner of the Year 2012 awards, in January.
The Riverbed Partner Awards recognise partners that have demonstrated success in implementing Riverbed performance solutions for clients, grown revenue and business, and invested in their relationship with Riverbed.
Michael Abendanon, General Manager: Network Integration at Dimension Data South Africa, says: "We are honoured to be recognised by Riverbed through the receipt of not only the South African Partner of the Year, but also the two recent global awards. Of significance to the South African award is that Dimension Data recorded almost twice the revenue of the next competitor, which underscores our ability to deploy and integrate Riverbed technology into complex multi-vendor solutions. We will continue to invest in Riverbed to build on the solid base we've already created, across all areas of our business."
