Red Level Networks Becomes “Go Partner” with Dell

Red Level Networks was recently selected to be one of Michigan’s “premier” partners. This is tremendous news for Red Level Networks as we have been working our way up through the ranks for quite few years now. It is with great pride that I speak to this news because it means that Red Level Networks has been doing all the right things along the way. Becoming a vendors “go to partner” requires a different spread of requirements depending on the vendor. Red Level Networks made a big push in 2012 to become certified in numerous Dell technologies and now employs a large team of certified engineers in the Dell product line. These technologies include such items as Dell servers, storage, switches, firewalls, management software, wireless, thin clients, and more. We are looking forward to working with Dell in an advanced capacity going forward.
