You might have heard – partners are a HUGE deal at Dell. That’s why we love the VMware Partner Exchange event in San Francisco –all channel, all the time. There will be resellers, technology alliance partners, distributors, and solution providers descending on the Moscone Center for the convention next week.
That’s the main reason we at Dell are going big at this year’s Partner Exchange.
