Rumors have been circling for some time about an expansion of the NetApp / CDW partnership. And from what I am hearing it is now official and NetApp is unveiling a big marketing push to support CDW as a primary sales agency. How this will impact NetApp current VARS is open for discussion. But CDW is recognized as a broad market distributor with little technical support. Will they be able to sell high priced arrays? Only time will tell.
Interesting times.
