Aug 6 (Reuters) - CDW beat Wall Street estimates

for second-quarter results on Wednesday, helped by continued

demand for IT solutions from its healthcare and government

customers.

The increasing need for hybrid data centers by combining

cloud and on-premise infrastructure, has created new growth

opportunities for CDW.

CDW provides information technology solutions such as

security, cloud, hybrid infrastructure to business, government,

education and healthcare customers in the United States, the

United Kingdom and Canada.

The company has worked with key technology brands such as

Microsoft ( MSFT ), Cisco ( CSCO ) and Apple ( AAPL ) to offer a

wide variety of products and services.

"This quarter's results highlight the combined power of our

balanced portfolio of customer end-markets and broad product and

solutions suite, supported by the investments we've made in our

business combined with our customer centric strategy," CEO

Christine Leahy said.

CDW's public segment net sales grew 2% to $2.29 billion,

primarily driven by an increase in sales to healthcare and

government customers.

The company reported net sales of $5.98 billion for the

second-quarter ended June 30, beating analysts' estimate of

$5.51 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG.

On an adjusted basis, the company earned $2.60 per

share, compared with estimates of $2.49.
