Datalink’s IT Operational Services
Datalink (NASDAQ: DTLK) announced today that it has been named
to the CRN® 2016 Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the
Elite 150 category, which recognizes large, data center-focused
MSPs with a strong mix of on-premise and off-premise services.
Datalink has appeared on The Channel Company’s CRN MSP 500 roster
every year since the list’s inception in 2014 and has offered 24x7
managed IT services for more than 15 years, helping clients achieve
tangible business benefits such as cost savings, increased resource
capacity, improved service levels and risk mitigation through its
advanced operational support capabilities.
Datalink’s managed services portfolio spans administration and
management of backup, storage, servers, network, voice,
applications, security, and private cloud infrastructures,
including 24x7 monitoring, incident management, and change and
patch management. In addition, Datalink offers infrastructure as a
service offerings, such as private cloud disaster recovery and
private cloud backup as a service. Client engagements range from
organizations with single-site data centers to global clients with
130+ data centers in 10+ countries.
The company also offers a broad suite of other IT consulting,
design, deployment and operational support services designed to
help clients derive maximum business benefits from their data
center transformation investments. Offerings include strategic
consulting for security, cloud, and IT transformation, as well as
data and application migration and Datalink OneCall support for
multi-vendor IT infrastructures.
“IT organizations typically spend between 60 and 70% of their
budget maintaining legacy applications, processes and
infrastructure, leaving the minority of their budget to invest in
transforming their business,” said Datalink Chief Operating Officer
Shawn O’Grady. “ Our clients have found that by leveraging our
scale and process automation, they can free up operating and
capital funding for transformational projects without sacrificing
quality.”
The MSP 500 designation marks Datalink’s second accolade from
CRN in the last few months, following a 2015 CRN Triple Crown Award
announced in November. That award signified that Datalink placed on
CRN’s Solution Provider 500 list of the largest solution providers
in North America by revenue; Fast Growth 150 ranking of the
fastest-growing companies in the space; and Tech Elite 250 list of
providers with the highest level of certifications from leading
vendors. Fewer than 60 North American IT solution providers met
those criteria to earn Triple Crown honors.
