Greenbelt, MD - May 21, 2008 - Presidio Networked Solutions, the leading provider of IT Infrastructure Lifecycle solutions, reports that it has seen a strong increase in customer demand for its portfolio of Sentry™ Managed Services. Presidio confirms that the migration to a model in which the client seeks third-party services to manage and operate its networks is due, in part, to the growing client need to deploy and manage new and more complex communications networks.

Presidio’s portfolio of managed services includes Network Infrastructure, Unified Communications and Security Infrastructure. All services provide remote monitoring and operations from Presidio’s First Call Response Center, or FCRC, as well as optional on-site support.

“We are seeing adoption across all areas of our business, including financial services, banking, state and local government, healthcare and even manufacturing,” said Dave Hart, Presidio’s Chief Technology Officer. “The flexibility of this tiered services model is paramount to the adoption of the solution. Each solution within our portfolio of managed services can be deployed alone, based on a client’s distinct needs, or bundled to provide a more comprehensive set of services.”

A growing number of customers have turned to Presidio’s suite of managed services because it offers a compelling value proposition as companies strive to ensure that each component of their converged network, whether voice, data or video, runs optimally. Presidio’s Sentry Services are positioned to allow companies to maintain a laser focus on driving the business value of IT, while the 24x7 network operations center provides uptime assurances and smooth operation of network infrastructure, voice and security technology.

As a member of the Cisco Managed Services Channel Program, Presidio is also a Cisco Powered program member. The program defines managed services based on market and industry-standard best practices and validates a provider’s managed services against those standards. Presidio is also one of only a few providers who hold three Cisco Powered Certifications. Cisco Powered Managed Services, provided by Presidio, indicate the service has met rigorous measures based on the highest level of customer value, industry standards for service delivery, and Cisco’s benchmark for quality. Sentry Managed Services leverage ITIL/ISO 20000-based systems and processes, ensuring that a customer’s IT infrastructure delivers guaranteed service levels and continues to meet key business requirements.
