RackForce announced as VMware Cloud Partner of the Year

Canadian enterprise cloud provider RackForce Networks, Inc. has been recognized for its outstanding efforts to bring VMware based cloud to customers.

KELOWNA, BC, March 12, 2015 /CNW/ - RackForce, a leader in bringing enterprise cloud services to Canada, has proudly accepted the title of VMware Cloud Partner of the Year for 2014. Donna Wittmann, VMware's Executive Director of Commercial and Partner Business, said, "We are pleased to recognize RackForce as the 2014 VMware Cloud Partner of the Year. RackForce has been a leader in helping its customers to understand the vision and realize the benefits of hybrid cloud powered by VMware technology." By showcasing their expertise in building enterprise cloud infrastructure, RackForce has experienced 63% YOY revenue growth and firmly established themselves as the largest vCloud Air Network Service Provider.

Tim Dufour, RackForce's President and CEO, expressed his satisfaction in receiving VMware recognition: "We couldn't be more proud to be VMware's Cloud Partner of the Year," he said. "RackForce continually pushes to deliver the best solutions possible for our clients, and pairing our expertise in cloud practices with the proven success of VMware technologies just makes sense. All of our teams – from virtualization and infrastructure strategists, to support personnel, to our marketers – we all share one goal, nd that's to deliver Canadian enterprises a great customer experience."

RackForce has been an advocate not only for enterprise cloud adoption in general, but for adoption of VMware technologies like Horizon DaaS, vCAC, SRM, and vCloud Director. The strong relationship between VMware and RackForce has deep roots that extend beyond their product and service offerings, too. RackForce shares VMware's Hybrid Cloud vision and strategy, and thus has actively supported the VMware field sales teams to delivering cloud services to a wide audience spread throughout Canada.

"I think part of what makes the RackForce-VMware relationship so unique is that VMware recognizes and supports our efforts to provide value add services like Managed Application Services, Enterprise-Class Hybrid Cloud, and DRaaS," Dufour continued. "Having a partner identify your strengths and support their growth is ideal. We're truly grateful to be involved in a reciprocal partnership that really benefits Canadian enterprise as a whole."
