The week-long inaugural Dell Storage Forum, a first for Dell (NASDAQ: DELL), is expected to attract almost 250 of Dell’s top storage partners and more than 300 customers. Although expressing positive successes and taking the opportunity to bring together partners picked up through the EqualLogic and Compellent acquisitions, many mixed signals were communicated by the company. Channel Buzz reports that although Dell has been strengthening its channel ties recently, the company’s storage business actually fell 13 percent.
“According to IDC data, Dell held 11.4 per cent of the storage market, Davis said, and the company is looking for a bigger slice. ‘We want our unfair share of the market.’ It’s not about more partners, says Davis, but more partners who are trained, in sales and engineering.”
Enterprise Storage Forum offers practical information on data storage and protection from several different perspectives: hardware, software, on-premises services and cloud services. It also includes storage security and deep looks into various storage technologies, including object storage and modern parallel file systems. ESF is an ideal website for enterprise storage admins, CTOs and storage architects to reference in order to stay informed about the latest products, services and trends in the storage industry.
