For some marketing stuff.

Trying to explain how certain providers are our preffered vendors.

But it needs to fit in this sentence.

Ex. "We have XXXX with Cisco Routers" We have XXXX with Dell Servers"

words that might fit but aren't what im looking for would be

settled
committed
aligned

are they preferred or exclusive? As in are you saying that you'd rather sell me cisco or you only have cisco to sell?

"Based on their proven ability to host a good party, replete with drugs and hookers, we prefer to use Dell and Cisco hardware whenever possible."

We have aligned aspirations with Cisco routers to see the project through bolt-in and hopefully all the way through sundown on the initiative.

I think part of the reason it's awkward to find a word is the passive tense you are using. Instead, try something like:

Cisco is our preferred brand of router.

Dell is our preferred brand of server.

In marketing terms, this puts the brand right out there -- it's first in the sentence. This keeps it in a place of attention and importance. "Preferred" is a weak word for certain purposes. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here. Are you trying to sell directly to people, or write copy for an ad? You could also say it's your choice brand.
