Carahsoft Names Data Networks a Reselling Partner for The Quilt-VMware Convenience Pricing Program

Program Reduces Costs & Accelerates Use of Virtualization Technology for Quilt Members

Hunt Valley, MD – June 21, 2016 – Data Networks, a premier IT solution provider focused on simplifying enterprise IT for education, government, and commercial customers, today announced that it has been selected by Carahsoft Technology Corp., to serve as one of a few select reselling partners for the Quilt-VMware convenience pricing program.

The Quilt, a non-profit, national coalition of 36 of America’s most advanced regional research and education networks, leverages the collective purchasing power of its membership and authorized member institutions to purchase advanced networking technology and services at a lower cost. Participants in The Quilt provide these solutions to more than 400 universities and thousands of other educational institutions nationwide. As part of this program, Quilt members are eligible to receive deep discounts when they purchase VMware and AirWatch by VMware through Data Networks.

We’re thrilled to be able to support Quilt members and their authorized Quilt buyers by offering VMware and AirWatch solutions at deep discounts. The Quilt is a fantastic way to make virtualization and enterprise mobility more accessible and affordable for Quilt member institutions,” said Patrick Regan, President, Data Networks.

The adoption of virtualization technologies helps IT departments create virtual environments at the workstation, server, storage, or data center level. Through virtualization, organizations can reduce the number of physical components being managed while maintaining or improving performance levels. Benefits include the ability to: reduce IT costs through server consolidation; leverage cloud software to build an elastic on-demand virtual infrastructure; support user access to data and applications on any device from anywhere; and create an affordable disaster recovery solution.

The current VMware|Quilt Contract covers all VMware licenses, SnS, Managed Services, Cloud Subscription Services, Training, and Professional Services. For more information on VMware and AirWatch solutions, Quilt members and Authorized Quilt Buyers are encouraged to contact Data Networks at 800.283.6387 (option 4).
