Due to a variety of international pressures and currency fluctuations, Cisco Australia is increasing the Cisco AU RRP Price List from 3rd November 2008.
It appears that Cisco will not be the only vendor to follow this path, as we have seen similar indications from IBM also.
Orders received by Cisco prior to that date will be at the current price. Orders received on or after Monday 3rd November will be processed using the new increased pricing.
If you require assistance in assessing the impact of this price change, please contact your Sundata account manager.
Norton Goldfields (NGF) are a publicly listed company and are Australia's 4th largest gold miner. While most of their employees are based at the iconic Paddington mine near Kalgoorlie, the company has its head office in Brisbane and has outsourced its IT requirements to Sundata.

Tuesday September 16 saw a number of Sundata customers gather at the Emporium Hotel in the Valley for a presentation from Citrix and IBM which primarily focussed on XenApp 5, which had been released only days before.
Phil Dean Jones from Citrix provided insight into the development path that has led to Release 5 and the type of benefits that Citrix users can expect.
Phil was backed up by Sven Hansen from IBM who outlined the various 'scale out' and 'scale up' strategies available to users building Citrix Infrastructure and the pro's and con's of each approach. Both Blade and multi processor options were outlined in terms of the type of capacity and options for handling additional workloads.
In response to client demand, Sundata has launched the Sunactive Managed Network (SMN) offering. SMN is a managed solution to relieve customers of the daily operational support of their voice and data networks therefore ensuring a secure, reliable and available network.
Sundata’s aim is to ensure a proactive focus on network availability and that it remains aligned to the business environment of our clients.
For clients, the benefit is the optimal operation of the technology and optimization of existing network operations.
As part of the SMN offering, we are able to provide system health checks, configuration management audits, network audits & analysis, software management for customer voice and data networks. Through Sundata’s best practice and benchmarking standards customers are offered a reliable, cost effective network with minimal impact on internal resources.

In October, Infor are holding their key client event for 2008 and Sundata is pleased to have been invited to exhibit our solution offerings in the areas of High Availability, Systems Management and IBM Power Server technology solutions (System I).
Over 200 organisations are expected to attend from Australia and New Zealand, and this activity supports our ongoing commitment to being a national solution provider for IBM mid-range solutions, including all Power technologies incorporating System I and System P solutions.
