Trace3 Announces North American Authorized Training Center and Support Partner Status for Palo Alto Networks
Trace3 to Offer Training and Technical Support With the Highest Number of ACEs (Accredited Configuration Engineers)
IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - December 29, 2010) - Trace3, a leading IT Systems Integrator that defines IT Strategy by providing solutions and services for reducing infrastructure complexity, today announces their Authorized Training Center and Support Partner Status for Palo Alto Networks™, the network security company. The importance of this new offering is to expand the focus of Trace3's services to better support and enable their clients to benefit from their technology investments. With a "Come to You" offering, Trace3's ACE (Accredited Configuration Engineers) Team also provides Tier 1 & 2 support acting as the client's first call for potential support tickets and assistance.
"We no longer want our clients to worry about making investments in low-level support issues, we want to empower them to handle those issues in an efficient and self-sufficient manner," says Hayes Drumwright, CEO Trace3. "We will always provide our clients with the support they need to ensure success but the largest value we can provide is to have them not need Trace3 anymore. The idea is to make them self-sufficient so that they can resolve potential problems quickly and focus on more important things like IT strategy and business objectives."
Trace3's Offerings are as follows: ATC Program
PAN-EDU 201- During this 2 day introductory-level class, the instructor will lead students through the process of installing, configuring, managing and troubleshooting Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls. Successful completion of this two-day, instructor led course will enable the attendee to install, configure, manage, and perform basic troubleshooting on the entire line of Palo Alto Networks next generation firewalls.

Trace3 is a Palo Alto Networks authorized platinum reseller who has heavily invested in Palo Alto Networks technical training curriculum achieving the highest number of ACEs (Accredited Configuration Engineers) in the Western region.
