SUNNYVALE, Calif., October 25, 2004 - 3K Technologies, LLC, announced today it has achieved the Cisco® Premier Certified Partner designation from Cisco Systems®. The Cisco Channel Partner Program supports reseller 3K Technologies in developing an expertise to sell, plan, design, implement and operate Cisco networking solutions.
