ePlus Named Intel’s Server Platform Partner of the Year

HERNDON, VA – June 20, 2017 – ePlus inc. (NASDAQ NGS: PLUS – news), a consultative technology solutions provider, announced today that it was awarded Intel’s Partner of the Year: Server Platform. The award was presented to ePlus at the Intel Solutions Summit held May 23 in Grapevine, TX.

Intel recognized ePlus for designing and building a server platform for a large non-profit organization that responds rapidly to global disasters. The organization utilizes the public cloud for all of its donor applications and support staff, and wanted to address privacy and security concerns for applications and data.

The cloud solution allows the non-profit to share computing resources in a public or private cloud while keeping each tenant’s data isolated, delivering the security, data management, and agility required.

“We are proud to be acknowledged by Intel for our demonstrated success in helping our client deploy a fully-automated hybrid cloud environment,” said Mark Melvin, CTO of ePlus. “ePlus fully understood the complexity of our client’s requirements and long-term vision, leveraged our engineering skills to design a cohesive multi-vendor solution, and utilized our services expertise to support the client through every step of the engagement to realize the intended business outcomes of enhanced flexibility, control, and security.”
