CALGARY, Alberta (October 31, 2012) — It’s a distinction that rewards agility, flexibility, and proficiency. And Long View has just scored No. 4.

Long View was recently tapped by Cisco, a worldwide networking leader, for the distinction during Cisco Partner Summit 2012.
“Virtualization and data center architecture exist in an extremely fast-paced world. Staying ahead of the pack in the area of advanced collaboration is tricky work — it demands innovation, dedication, and adaptability,” says Kent MacDonald, Long View’s Vice-President of Business Development.
“We believe that winning Cisco’s Canadian Data Center Partner of the Year honour for a fourth straight year is a truly significant achievement,” adds MacDonald. “It tells us we’re staying on top of our game — even by our own high standards.”
