With a new leadership team under CEO Daniel Newton and a bold new brand

identity under the tagline "Own the Data Center," CDS is distinguishing itself

from prevalent third-party maintenance (TPM) practices by strongly committing

to a partner-first approach that is reinforced by decades of relationships with

the world's leading digital infrastructure providers. Embracing its

collaborative role with partners -- the largest server, storage and networking

providers -- CDS is investing in the technology and expertise needed to support

a wide range of the most popular hardware platforms with an array of services

that help customers unlock and reposition budgets for their modernization and

cloud transformation initiatives.

Newton, who became CEO of CDS in early 2020, said, "The world's leading digital

infrastructure providers are partnering with enterprise customers to determine

the most beneficial paths forward for their multi-vendor environments. Whether

the answer is upgrading to more advanced, efficient technologies or introducing

approaches that lengthen the useful life of existing infrastructure while

unlocking budget for new initiatives, these OEMs need partners they can trust

to help them deliver complete experiences without worrying about competing for

future business in those same accounts."

Mark Peters, Principal Analyst and Practice Director at Enterprise Strategy

Group (ESG), said, "In enterprises worldwide, the ambition of digital

transformation is all-too-often constrained by the realities of budget pressure

and talent scarcity. Therefore, as application workloads increasingly

transition to hybrid cloud solutions, the importance of extending the value of

data center investments -- both now and over time -- to enable that change has

intensified. By investing in engineering talent and technologies to support a

wide range of infrastructure products, CDS is a reliable global partner to the

major storage, compute and network vendors as they jointly add that

prerequisite value to their customers' data centers, and thus help release

those constraints on the promise of digital transformation."

Sean Kessler, Vice President of Hosting for ITelagen, a leading managed

services organization for EHR (electronic health records), said, "Our customers

trust ITelagen with their most important applications and data, and we trust

CDS to support our high-end storage systems and mission-critical workloads. CDS

has the expertise, talent and dedication we need to keep everything running and

ensure we have the efficiency we need to maximize our investments."
