From Carahsoft & Our Partners
Reston, VA – May 31,
2016 – Carahsoft Technology Corp.,
the trusted government IT solutions provider, today announced that it has been
named the distribution partner for theQuilt-VMware convenience pricing program. The Quilt, a non-profit coalition
of advanced regional networks for research and education across the country,
leverages the collective purchasing power of its membership and authorized
member institutions to purchase advanced networking technology and services at
a lower cost.
Through this program, Carahsoft will provide proactive
customer facing sales and marketing resources alongside a dedicated channel
partnership management team to train, recruit, and incentivize a rich partner
ecosystem.
“Carahsoft will act as an extension of the current Quilt and
VMware team to support our Quilt members and their Authorized Quilt Buyers,”
said Jen Leasure, president and CEO at The Quilt. “Through this program, Quilt
members will receive deep discounts for VMware and AirWatch by VMware, making
virtualization and enterprise mobility adoption more easily accessible and
affordable for our Quilt members and their connectedinstitutions.”
The adoption of virtualization technology by institutions is
beneficial as it allows their IT departments to create a virtual environment at
the workstation, server, or data center level. With this, an institution can
reduce the number of physical servers or computers it needs, leading to reduced
IT costs while still maintaining performance levels.
“We look forward to supporting The Quilt’s virtualization
and enterprise mobility initiatives through proactive sales and marketing of
VMware and AirWatch solutions,” said Will Jones, vice president of VMware
Solutions at Carahsoft, which serves as VMware’s Master Public Sector
Aggregator and largest Public Sector Distribution Partner. “This partnership
program is committed to promoting the collective best interests of The Quilt’s
member institution community.”
For more information on VMware and AirWatch solutions, Quilt
members and Authorized Quilt Buyers are encouraged to contact the Quilt team at
