Intel has set its sights on the wireless space with the European launch of its latest wireless technology. During a recent sales and business strategy summit, South African network integration, support and service specialist and sole Intel Channel solution provider for the Itanium 2-based server for Sub-Sahara Africa, Integr8 IT, gained perspective and valuable insight into the corporation`s road ahead.
As an Intel Premier Provider and key channel solution support specialist, Integr8 IT was invited to join predominantly European IT sales and business strategists at the Intel Solution Summit held recently in Berlin, Germany. The intensive training and product strategy summit offered delegates a peek at the latest Intel wireless offering.
Integr8 IT project manager Naweed Kazi attended the summit and was impressed by the company`s strategy to market.
"The Solution Summit was a unique opportunity for the company to learn something new about fresh product and, as a Premier Provider, we were able to gain valuable insight into the Intel approach to market and future ideas on up and coming technologies. It was truly worthwhile - and I believe Integr8 IT is positioned to add real value to the local market. Global company-driven exercises are important because they provide solution partners, customers and resellers with additional perspective which can only translate into value-add for the client," explains Kazi.
The latest Intel mobile technology combines a new microprocessor designed from the ground up for mobility, with a mobile-optimised chipset and an integrated wireless LAN solution. The components work together to enable effective mobile performance, incorporating integrated wireless LAN capability. The technology allows setup of an unlimited number of profiles to connect to different WLAN networks, enables automatic switching between wired and wireless LAN and provides a simplified interface for setting up ad hoc networks.
"We are very excited about the prospect of being the sole solution provider for Africa and SA for the latest server technology. Building infrastructure through the incorporation of cost-effective, flexible product and solutions remains our core focus. Aside from our position as Intel Premier Providers, we are able to collaborate our in-depth knowledge of the Microsoft environment, to deliver a customised, scalable and modular system to our clients and partners," says Rob Sussman, director at Integr8 IT.
