Cirrity Certified With Master Designation To Provide Cisco Powered Cloud And Managed Services

Cirrity, a leading channel-only secure cloud solutions provider, announced recently that it has achieved the Cisco®Master Service Provider designation to complement its Cisco Powered Infrastructure as a Service, Cisco Powered Disaster Recovery as a Service, and Cisco Powered Desktops as a Service offerings. This certification by Cisco’s Cloud and Managed Services Program (CMSP) recognizes Cirrity as having achieved an elite level of expertise to sell and deliver cloud services. To be able to offer these services as Cisco Powered Services, Cirrity completed a rigorous third-party audit of its services. This audit verifies that services are delivered with enterprise-class reliability, security and support.

The Master Service Provider designation also recognizes Cirrity’s investment and commitment to providing cloud services at Cisco’s highest standards. The shared goal is to help businesses and organizations realize faster time to value.

“The change from Advanced to Master CMSP for our Cisco Powered solutions, along with our involvement in the Cisco Intercloud Fabric initiative, show our ability to provide best-of-breed services to our customers,” said Dan Timko, Cirrity President and CTO. “Achieving Master CMSP augments our ISO 27001 and Cloud Security Alliance STAR information security certifications to indicate strong third party validation of our business strategy and practices for delivering robust and secure cloud services.”

Cisco will actively sell Cirrity’s cloud services that are Cisco Powered through its own sales channels. In addition, Cirrity and Cisco will continue to work together to provide ongoing innovation through these services.
