Dell Direct Collaborated with Dell Channel Partner to Unseat EMC

SearchITChannel TechTarget - June 25, 2015

Clifford said Davenport Group wouldn’t let EMC’s sales team wedge them out of the deal and stayed close to IOMax. After about two weeks of discussions, IOMax made its decision.

In the end, it was support that swayed IOMax’s decision. Although the products and pricing did play an important role in IOMax’s decision-making process, Dell’s technology combined with a Dell channel partner’s level of support led IOMax to uproot its storage infrastructure and start fresh, Bennet said.

Dell Intros New Entry-Level Compellent Storage, High-Density EqualLogic Storage

CRN - May 6, 2015

The SCv2000 provides a new lower entry point to the Compellent technology, which is a good move to help Dell’s channel, said Paul Clifford, president of Davenport Group, a St. Paul, Minn.-based solution provider and Dell channel partner.

“We can now drop [off] a Compellent solution to a customer for under $20,000,” Clifford told CRN. “That becomes a remote branch office. You can now put SANs in places where they couldn’t be put before.”

The new lower-priced SAN now gives remote-office and branch-office users an alternative to higher-priced hyper-converged infrastructure offerings, Clifford said. “We now have multiple ways to reach such customers.”

CRN - April 22, 2015

“If he has found a great opportunity to build something for someone new, good for him,” Clifford told CRN. Skelley also is a channel advocate, Clifford said, adding that he “balances partner and vendor needs.”

Davenport Group has been looking at working with another developer of storage performance technology that is competitive with Infinio’s and is sold via Dell, Clifford said. “Now we’ll consider looking at Infinio because of Bob,” he said. “Where smart people go, we want to see what’s happening.”
