Cisco accredits NetStar

NetStar achieved the premium Cisco designations in managed unified communications, managed security firewall and managed security IDS/IPS. The certification enables NetStar to deliver and support managed services throughout the world, and to provide service offerings to existing multinational customers.

The certification involved operational and security testing. For this, NetStar demonstrated the required resources, systems, and procedures to deploy, manage, and maintain customer systems in all locations where the managed service is available. The program's entry criterion is based on the IT infrastructure library(r) framework of best practices.

Ongoing certification will require a rigorous annual assessment of NetStar's Global NetCentre (network operation centre). In addition, the managed services sold to customers must include a service level agreement with a minimum term of one year. NetStar has been certified to deliver solutions across routing, security (Firewall and IPS) and unified communications.

Oliver Descouedres, marketing director for NetStar Australia, said, the partner was one of the first systems integration partner in Australia.
We are very proud of this achievement and we look forward to continued growth and success working with Cisco in this market".
