Sumathi IT becomes Sri Lanka’s only HPE Gold Networking Partner

Sumathi Information Technologies (Pvt) Ltd (SIT), the technology arm and a subsidiary of Sumathi Holdings, has been named Sri Lanka’s only Gold Partner for networking by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) for 2026, as enterprises face increasing pressure to modernise networks while maintaining uptime, security, and cost discipline. The recognition reinforces SIT’s position as a leading enterprise IT system integrator in Sri Lanka, supporting organisations navigating complex infrastructure decisions in a constrained operating environment.

This comes as reliable and secure network infrastructure is increasingly critical to business continuity across key sectors, including banking, telecommunications, and government. HPE’s Gold Partner status is awarded based on stringent criteria, including certified engineering capability, delivery standards, and commercial performance, offering enterprises greater assurance in vendor selection and execution.

For organisations where downtime, security exposure, and integration complexity carry direct financial implications, the presence of a locally established Gold-tier partner provides practical advantages. These include stronger access to global expertise, more structured implementation, and closer alignment between technology deployment and business outcomes.

The partnership is further strengthened by the breadth of HPE’s networking portfolio, spanning Aruba, HP Networking, and Juniper Networks. This enables SIT to support enterprises in designing integrated network architectures across campus, data centre, and high-performance environments, addressing the growing need for scalable and future-ready infrastructure.

Commenting on the milestone, S. Sivasankar, Chief Technology Officer of Sumathi IT, said, “This recognition reflects the depth of capability we have built over time and our continued focus on delivering consistent outcomes for our customers. As organisations place greater emphasis on reliability and long-term value, our role is to support them with solutions that are both robust and adaptable.”

With over two decades of experience and a client base spanning more than 500 organisations across banking, government, and telecommunications, SIT continues to support Sri Lanka’s enterprise sector in strengthening its digital backbone, combining global partnerships with local expertise.
