Fifth Consecutive Rise Reflects Steady
Expansion of Datalink’s Data Center Solutions & Services
Portfolio
Datalink (NASDAQ:DTLK), a leading provider of data center
infrastructure and services, announced today that it placed #47 on
CRN’s just-released 2014 Solution Provider 500 list of the top
technology integrators in North America by revenue. Datalink’s
SP500 ranking has climbed annually since the company’s first
appearance on the list five years ago at #195, gaining five points
in the last year alone. The growth has been fueled by strategic
diversification of the company’s portfolio to help IT teams
navigate major changes in the data center landscape.
Today, Datalink supplies a full spectrum of next-generation data
center technologies as well as a comprehensive suite of managed,
unified support and advanced services including cloud enablement,
virtualization, data center relocation, system and application
migration, and business continuity/disaster recovery planning. This
ongoing expansion of the company’s products and services has built
revenues from both new and existing customers.
In the last 12 months alone, Datalink has added new cloud
consulting services spanning cloud readiness assessment, cloud
strategy and workload alignment, service catalog development, and
the design, deployment and automation of self-service IT portals
enabling business users with no IT knowledge to request IT
services. Many of these services are linchpins in helping
organizations adapt to new IT roles shaped by the emergence of
third-party cloud service providers and other technology
shifts.
“Our growth is directly related to the challenges organizations
face in planning and executing new projects to keep up with
changing technologies. In-house IT teams typically lack the
personnel to address these needs, with priority going to day-to-day
activities and strategic projects that will help generate business
for their company,” said Datalink President and CEO Paul Lidsky.
“With our best-of-breed infrastructure products as well as
broad-based deployment and consulting services, more customers are
relying on us for more services to supplement their own personnel
at all stages of the data center lifecycle.”
"The annual Solution Provider 500 represents those companies
that truly understand the needs of customers today as the IT
landscape evolves," said Robert Faletra, CEO, The Channel Company.
"With so many options, this list has become an invaluable resource
for vendors working hard to navigate the solution provider
community and identify the best partner for their business. We
congratulate the featured solution providers and look forward to
covering their continued success."
