Cirrus Networks clinches million-dollar sales to 'blue-chip’ miners

Cirrus Networks has won three resources contracts worth more than $1 million combined.

The publicly listed integrator told the ASX that it had signed deals with three “blue-chip resources-based customers”, although only one of the clients was named.

Under the terms of the first deal, Cirrus will provide Independence Group with new data centre infrastructure to help the Perth-based miner continue its expansion.

This new infrastructure will also help Independence Group integrate with Sirius Resources, after the two companies merged in September 2015.

Cirrus managing director Frank Richmond said that Cirrus, which is also based in Perth, looked forward to continuing its long-term relationship with Independence Group.

Meanwhile, Cirrus announced that it had been chosen by a “global mining giant” to provide data storage to mine sites in Western Australia.

Cirrus will implement its next-generation all-flash enterprise technology and provide disaster recovery back-up to the client’s data centre in the Perth CBD. Work will start in April.

For the third deal, Cirrus will implement a virtual desktop environment for a “leading mining services business”, following a successful pilot.

Richmond said the three contact wins were a tribute to Cirrus’ innovative solutions.

“As all businesses, particularly those within the resources sector, look to enabling technologies to drive lower operational costs, Cirrus is excited at the opportunity to showcase our success in this area,” he said.

These latest wins come after Cirrus revealed last month that it had landed four major managed services contracts, valued at $2.1 million, since launching the new division eight months ago.

Cirrus came in at No.3 in the 2015 CRN Fast50 with revenue growth of 154 percent to $14.9 million.
