Rahi and Infinidat in storage pricing alliance

Rahi and Infinidat have announced a strategic partnership that will offer high-end enterprises access to a range of data storage pricing models.

‘Pay-As-You-Grow’ will allow flexibility in data capacity and data management planning, whilst removing the perpetual issue of available capacity that can impede an organisation’s ability to grow and remain agile, the pair say.

Avnet gets EMC gong

avgongMegadistributor Avnet Technology Solutions UK has been awarded a gong and named by EMC as its UK distributor of the year 2013.

Avnet gets the gong because it has promoted EMC’s “Attitude” programme – a scheme intended for small and medium sized businesses.

Channel director Terry Beale, from EMC, said that Avnet contributes a great deal to company sales.  Avnet partly gets the gong because it has made an easy to use portal for resellers that lets people configure and price EMC systems and improve its market share.

Avnet channel man Lee Bushnell said that his team drives demands and gives technical and commercial support on a range of EMC products.

Avnet in EMC push

Avnet's Lee BushnellDistributor Avnet said it has introduced a programme called Altitude aimed at small and medium sized businesses.

The programme promotes EMC storage and back up devices and aims to help its resellers offer VNXe storage and Data Domain backup products.

The scheme centres around an online configuration tool that lets resellers calculate price for the EMC products without needing to contact Avnet.  Using a secure portal, the configurator is available at all times.

Lee Bushnell, EMC business manager at Avnet UK (pictured), said that the programme will help resellers to secure lucrative revenue streams with attractive pricing.

Resellers can avail themselves of training on the portal along with sales information, data sheets and product training.
