David Durham is a content and editorial strategist in Cisco’s Global Partner Marketing. His focus is making sure Cisco Partners get the right information at the right time, through whatever communications channel is most convenient for them.
David has been back with Cisco since 2018. He returns to Cisco after running internal communications for 3D Systems, Inc. He has spent time at Cisco previously in Partner communications for the Americas and in defining communication processes for Cisco employees to communicate directly with Cisco partners. He has also held similar positions with IBM, Pharmaceutical Product Development and Nortel.
In addition to his work at Cisco, he is passionate about animal rescue and spends a lot of his personal time volunteering with rescue organizations to transport rescue dogs headed to their foster homes. If you’re ever in a WebEx meeting with him, you’ll likely hear some of his pack “talking” in the background!Meg is the Marketing Enablement Guru for Cisco Global Partner Marketing.

As I often do with our Cisco Partner Voices blogs, this week’s entry is really more about me getting out of the way and letting the partner tell the story. I mean, after all, that’s what this whole series is about, right?
This past week, I had the opportunity to speak with Dawn Kerwick, Vice-President of Marketing at ePlus. She had some great insight into what ePlus has been doing in the education sector, and I wanted to share that with you as part of the Partner Voices series. Rather than hear me blather on, I’ll just turn it over and let you hear what Dawn had to say, in her own words:
With all of the malware attacks in the world today, sometimes Mother Nature is still the biggest threat to data security. When a deadly tornado outbreak in April 2011 occurred, Peoples Bank of Cullman, AL, experienced firsthand how important it is to have a backup data center location for their core infrastructure.
To show yet again how vital the Cisco Solution Partners are to our Cisco Partner Ecosystem, we’re highlighting how KEMP Technologies helped cloud services provider Peak 10 implement new infrastructure to keep up with customer demand.
Sometimes for series such as Partner Voices, I spend a lot of time planning. I will often spend a lot of time on the phone, sending emails out and generally trying to dig up the latest and greatest Cisco Partner success stories.
Cisco partner successes are abundant and we are always proud to feature the exceptional companies helping us drive real customer results with Cisco UCS solutions. In fact, the Partner Voices series is all about that.
By now it’s no secret that Cisco was recently recognized by IDC as number one in several Unified Computing System (UCS) categories. This immense achievement could never have been realized without help from the many dedicated Cisco partners who are using the UCS technology to solve real-world business problems for customers.
Our Cisco partners and UCS solutions make a great team, helping customers achieve significant results in establishing efficient and cost-effective data center environments. The latest Partner Voices blog highlights how Cisco partner Trend Micro helped a nonprofit organization bolster its data center security as it migrated to a virtual environment.
