Brampton, ON – April 21, 2008 – Open Storage Solutions® Inc., a leader in providing data storage solutions in Canada and the US has been designated a Dell™ Certified Partner by Dell, Inc. Open Storage Solutions is new to the Dell relationship, being brought together when Dell purchased EqualLogic this year.
“We are delighted with the new relationship,” said Andrew Betterton, President and CEO of Open Storage Solutions. “We had been a very strong EqualLogic partner for the past few years, and as soon as Dell purchased EqualLogic, they met with us to let us know what to expect during the transition period and to make the transition as comfortable as possible.”
“We know how important it is to build trust in the channel and inside of Dell and we must all evolve.” Said Frank Fuser, Dell’s new VP of Channel Programs. “We’re evolving the culture inside of Dell, and we think we’re on the right track to enhance the relationship with partners going forward.”
The new partnership with Dell introduces a breadth of value in the newly available offerings from Dell through Open Storage Solutions, including the newest PowerEdge™ blade servers for those customers looking to virtualize and consolidate, allowing them a smaller datacenter footprint and unbeatable power efficiency.
“We have been nothing but happy so far,” added Andrew Betterton. “Dell has been very accommodating and has been very communicative throughout the process. We are also very excited to have access to a whole new line of Dell products to complement our previous offerings and the recent announcement of the new Dell PowerEdge™ servers couldn’t have come at a better time.”
