6 October 2008 - ICT integrator Fordway has been awarded Signature Preferred Partner status for QLogic in the UK. The announcement follows the recent launch of the industry's first ever end-to-end 8Gb Fibre Channel network; the latest breakthrough from QLogic, who are regarded as one of the industry's most innovative suppliers of high performance storage networking solutions.

"We are delighted that Fordway has decided to support QLogic in the UK," explains Chris Barnes, Senior Channel Account Manager, QLogic. "Fordway is one of the few integrators that truly believes in seeking out and actively adopting the right technology for its customers."

Richard Blanford, Managing Director, Fordway responds, "QLogic continues to push the boundaries of SAN. Quite simply it creates the fabric that makes new technologies possible, and by partnering with them we continue to offer our customers best-of-breed solutions that meet requirements both now and in the future."

The confirmed partner status follows a successful 12 month period for Fordway during which it exceeded the switch revenue requirement for Signature Preferred Partner status by more than 93%. Four of its sales staff have also completed in-depth QLogic training and accreditation.

QLogic products include Fibre Channel HBAs, blade server embedded Fibre Channel switches, Fibre Channel stackable switches, iSCSI HBAs and iSCSI routers.
