TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/13 -- Gibraltar Solutions proudly announces that the company has signed a partnership agreement with Cisco with the intent on achieving Cisco's authorization for Advanced Datacenter Architecture and Advanced Unified Fabric Technology.

The partnership with Cisco marks an extraordinary milestone for Gibraltar. Gibraltar will be joining a short list of companies in Canada with proven ability and experience of architecting, deploying and managing advanced virtualization and cloud solutions across multiple hardware platforms.

"To meet these changing needs, the next generation of IT solutions will be highly integrated for simpler management and highly scalable for lower cost of computing. We believe Cisco's UCS platform achieves these objectives."

"This partnership is also a testament to Gibraltar's commitment to being a one-stop shop where customers can come to choose the best solution for their business needs."
