Barrachd today announced it has gained certification in IBM’s Dynamic Infrastructure Specialty Programme in the area of Business Resilience. Through the programme, Barrachd will work with IBM to help clients build a new, more dynamic infrastructure that will bring greater intelligence, automation, integration, and efficiencies to the digital and physical worlds.
The programme is designed to enable customers to use powerful computing systems to manage and gain insight from an increasing number of things in their physical infrastructure that are being instrumented with intelligent sensors. IDC estimates the market opportunity for the software, servers, technologies and services to manage the world's converged IT and physical infrastructure to be $billion by 2012.
"We are committed to the dynamic infrastructure model which helps us to create value for our customers whether they define their requirements as short-term productivity gains or long-term transformation projects." said Clark Wilson, Managing Director, Barrachd.
Barrachd's participation in the Dynamic Infrastructure Specialty Programme better positions them to assist businesses in managing challenges presented by today's globally integrated planet. Barrachd is able to deepen its skills in areas such as business resilience, and these enhanced skills will enable Barrachd to more accurately respond to their customers’ multi-faceted IT challenges and help customers with the creation of dynamic infrastructures.
“The need for IT professionals to build a dynamic infrastructure in order to fully benefit from their data centre technologies is undeniable,” said Andrew Sime, IBM General Business Leader, Scotland. “Barrachd’s dedication to fuelling the adoption of the dynamic infrastructure model only helps them deliver more powerful, intelligent and secure data centre solutions to their customers.”
In order to achieve this certification, Barrachd has invested many hours in IBM training classes; achieved brand, system architecture and project management based certifications; and built new offerings to help customers evaluate their environments and implement robust solutions for their dynamic infrastructure environments.
