Westcon Group unveils inaugural LEAP center
2010-10-08
Network and security VAD Westcon Group has unveiled the first of its global LEAP (Learn, Experience, Architect and Plan) Centers - dedicated "centers of excellence" for resellers to capitalize on data center opportunities related to next-generation technologies – including the Cisco Unified Computing System. The Brussels-based facility is the first of several world-class facilities Westcon Group will be launching around the world. LEAP Centers offer resellers a major competitive differentiator in their pursuit of data center opportunities and are engineered to replicate real-world scenarios faced in deploying virtualized servers with their customers. Westvon European resellers can test and experience a wide array of complementary solutions, such the Cisco Unified Computing System, storage offerings from NetApp, EMC, and virtualized applications from VMware, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and other manufacturers, all this both on-site and via remote access.
They were developed to provide an ongoing showcase for industry-leading, networking, data center and virtualization technologies ; a facility that educates resellers and their end-user customers on recent data center and virtualization technologies, a sophisticated lab environment for resellers to conduct testing and gain hands-on training with data center and virtualization solutions; onsite and remote access to component systems, products and solutions featured in the LEAP Center ; a destination briefing center for resellers to host customers for live demonstrations and tailored business case proposals; and finally the ability to review real world application benchmarks and proof-of-concept for server migrations and solution deployments.
LEAP Centers help resellers reduce time-to-revenue, while overcoming the unique challenges faced in virtualization and data center deployments: longer sales cycles, more complex technology evaluations and deeper investments. By accessing the LEAP Center demo infrastructure, resellers are able to set up and host their own data center demonstrations without incurring the additional expense of procuring a dedicated data center network test environment. Each LEAP Center provides training on data center related products and provide proof-of-concept evaluations utilizing competitive server solutions.
