Due to an increase in eastern U.S. market demand, Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. (CAD), an industry leader of IT infrastructure, management and security solutions, has opened a new office in Tampa, Fla. This is CAD’s first office outside of Cary, NC.

    CAD’s new office opened July 11 in conjunction with the Florida Local Government Information Systems Association (FLGISA) conference in Clearwater, Fla. The annual conference provides the opportunity for exhibitors to showcase new products or services and connect with those ultimately responsible for technology functions.

    CAD’s new office is close to Meru Networks‘ eastern U.S. office. Meru Networks, one of CAD’s top partners, develops and markets wireless infrastructure solutions to provide industry-leading innovations that deliver pervasive, wireless service fidelity for business-critical applications to major Fortune 500 enterprises, universities, healthcare organizations and local, state and federal government agencies.

    Kory Thornberg, one of CAD’s network engineers who specializes in wireless networking and security, is heading up the new office. “I am excited for the chance to better serve clients by opening up a CAD office in their area,” said Thornberg, “and being near Meru Networks will benefit our wireless network market.”

    “We have been doing business in Florida for some years and often considered a presence there,” said John Jabbusch, Chairman and CEO of CAD. “Recent general growth in both technical sales and demand for our professional engineering services in Florida, combined with the burgeoning demands of the BYOD market and our excellent relationship with our manufacturing partner Meru Networks, drove the decision to commit to an office in Tampa. We look forward to continued growth there and even closer coordinated efforts with Meru.”
