Partners
“Partners” is an over-used word in IT. Most typically it is used to describe suppliers for whom an organisation is authorised to sell products on behalf of, and as such the word has been largely devalued. At Union we address this relationship more seriously, in the form of a partnership, from which the word is derived.
Partnership is an association involving close co-operation – an association that requires joint investment and mutual benefit. For a true partnership to succeed a relationship at all levels must be established – technical, administrative, sales, and senior management. These are the partnerships we forge. We invest in the necessary training to be accredited but we also develop a joint business plan that encourages more deep rooted collaboration. In doing this we are able to better service our customers.
It’s not just the supplier’s products; it’s the vision, the strategy, the execution, the willingness to take on responsibility, and the eagerness to make business easy. For these reasons alone, we have chosen to work closely with these organisations and in most cases have established Union as a leading UK partner.
Cisco
Cisco is critical to the future of the datacentre. Cisco will play a major role in the unification of communications, system virtualisation, cloud computing, and grid architectures. Union is one of only a handful of Cisco's UK partners qualified in both IP and FC platforms.
EMC
EMC is the only true storage company. EMC's range and quality of products, innovation record, vision matched by execution, and business model places EMC at the forefront of the storage industry. Union is one of EMC's top five UK partners and its fastest growing.
Virtual Age
Virtual Age is a sister company of Union - part of the same equity group. Virtual Age is dedicated purely to the virtualisation space and provides a comprehensive range of server, desktop, application, and network virtualisation technology products and services.
Hewlett-Packard
HP is Union's preferred platform for high performance open systems computing. Its scale up and scale out strategy combined with world class quality manufacturing and innovation encourage us. Union is accredited on all its major processing platforms.
Quantum
No infrastructure is complete without backup. Quantum provides a range of world-class tape and virtual tape solutions and has been at the forefront of de-duplication and virtualisation technology development for a decade or more. Quantum’s products are a complementary addition to Union’s other core infrastructure partners.
Symantec
Symantec's software portfolio is custom built for the datacentre. Data management, protection, security, and availability plus service management are cornerstones of its strategy, and Symantec's market leadership in all these areas compel us to invest further in our partnership. Union is one of Symantec's leading UK indirect partners.
