Sysix Wins Strategic iForce National Status from Sun Microsystems
Sysix says Sun business will grow 400 percent this year

Sysix, an Oak Brook, Ill., Solution provider that was recently deauthorized by Hewlett-Packard, gained authorization as a Sun Microsystems Strategic iForce partner Tuesday.
The iForce designation allows Sysix to sell Sun solutions on a nationwide basis, said John Sheaffer, Sysix CEO. Previously, Sysix was authorized to sell Sun only in the New York area, San Francisco and Chicago.
"Our second-quarter Sun business was up about 193 percent over the same period a year ago," Sheaffer said. "With the iForce authorization, we expect our Sun business to increase four times over what it was last year."
Since Sysix, formerly a Platinum HP partner, parted ways with the vendor, it has been strengthening its relationships with Sun, IBM and EMC, among other vendors, Sheaffer said.
