(McLean, Virginia) – February 15, 2010– IronBrick announced today that it has achieved Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider (ATP) status from
Cisco. This designation recognizes IronBrick as having fulfilled the training and program prerequisites to sell, deploy and support the Cisco Unified Computing System in the United States.
With the current state of the world economy, business agility has become paramount and many companies leverage their technology infrastructure to drive efficiencies without high upfront capital investments. The Cisco Unified Computing System unites network, computational, storage access, and virtualization resources in a single energy-efficient system that can reduce the costs and complexity of information technology (IT) infrastructure, help extend capital assets, and improve business agility well into the future. A new computing model, the Cisco Unified Computing System uses integrated management and combines a “wire once” unified fabric with an industry-standard computing platform to optimize virtualization, reduce the data center’s total overall cost, and provide dynamic resource provisioning for businesses that are becoming increasingly collaborative, mobile and distributed.
According to Rajeev Karamchedu, Director of IronBrick Professional Services, “IronBrick's proprietary Flexible Data Architecture Methodology, our approach to datacenter design, has the goal of creating a cost-conscious modular architecture that is scalable, manageable and one that emphasizes a much closer alignment of data center strategies with business drivers. Our Cisco ATP partnership allows us to expand the solutions we provide for our customers using this approach and complements our business model nicely.“
John Growdon, director, Worldwide Channels Go-to-Market Group at Cisco states, “Taking advantage of an architectural shift in the data center, Cisco’s new computing model can help customers transform the data center into a dynamic IT environment with the power to increase productivity, improve efficiency and drive virtualization to an entirely new level. As a Cisco Data Center Unified Computing Authorized Technology Provider, IronBrick is a member of an elite ecosystem of industry leaders working with Cisco to stimulate technology innovation, augment service delivery, and accelerate the market adoption of unified computing.”

McLean, VA, January 25, 2010 --(PR.com)-- On January 18th, the IronBrick executive team and staff commemorated the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service by supporting Greater DC Cares education efforts at the T.C. Williams High School. As one of Northern Virginia’s leading technology firms, IronBrick has demonstrated a deep commitment to corporate social responsibility, and in particular, to developing strong ties with the local community where the company is headquartered.
The IronBrick team joined over 3,000 volunteers who gathered around the Greater Washington, D.C. area to honor the legacy of the late Dr. King through community service. At the T.C. Williams’ High School Minnie Howard Campus, the team participated in a project designed to lower drop-out rates, get students more engaged in their education, and reinforce their interest in pursuing higher education.
As the IronBrick team painted college logos in classrooms frequented by high school freshmen, Kevin Murphy, CEO of IronBrick, stated as he worked, “we are thrilled to be a part of this project, and we hope that our work will serve as a daily reminder to students in this campus that continuing education is important and a goal that should be ever-present in their daily endeavors.”
Murphy added, “Greater DC Cares does some outstanding work across the region and we are thankful to be working with them. I am particularly pleased that we were able to help students in Fairfax County. Our business is based in Fairfax County, and many of us grew up here. This event was a great opportunity to give back to the community that has provided so much for us.”
