Datalink (Nasdaq: DTLK), a leading provider of data center infrastructure and services, was named Healthcare Partner of the Year by NetApp® at its recent United States Public Sector (USPS) Partner Summit, held in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. The award was based on Datalink’s strong revenue performance resulting from the design, deployment, and support of NetApp-based storage and virtual data center infrastructures for healthcare organizations throughout the United States.

Healthcare organizations are increasingly challenged to address rapid data growth fueled by the migration to electronic medical records, as well as expanding medical imaging archives. Datalink works closely with mid and large-size healthcare organizations to transform their data centers, leveraging converged data center infrastructures, like FlexPod®, to deliver greater data center efficiency, scalability, and agility. FlexPod is a pretested and validated data center architecture that combines networking, computing, and NetApp storage.

“We are naming Datalink the Healthcare Partner of the Year to recognize Datalink’s proven leadership in designing agile solutions for both the payer and provider healthcare markets,” said David Nesvisky, senior director, NetApp Healthcare. “This is the first award presented to a channel partner since the inception of our healthcare practice in 2010. Datalink sales, design, and support of comprehensive IT solutions for our joint healthcare constituents have been exemplary.”

“We are pleased to be recognized by NetApp for our strong performance in the healthcare industry,” commented Datalink President and CEO Paul Lidsky. “Healthcare organizations are under intense pressure to drive greater efficiency, gain competitive advantage, and enhance patient care. Datalink has a proven track record of helping healthcare organizations optimize IT to facilitate the achievement of these goals.”

Building converged data center infrastructures like FlexPod requires cross-discipline capabilities spanning servers, storage, and networks. Datalink offers a full suite of services, including analysis, design, implementation, management, and OneCall^SM Unified Support for virtual data center environments.
