Virtustream,
the enterprise-class cloud company and a Dell Technologies business,
announced that Virtustream Enterprise Cloud (VEC) has
been added to the global Dell EMC Partner Program.
Dell EMC partners now have the opportunity to become Virtustream
partners, selling Virtustream Enterprise Cloud and Virtustream Storage
Cloud, through the auspices of the Dell EMC Partner Program. Virtustream
Storage Cloud was the first solution made available to Dell EMC partners
last December in order to help meet growing customer demand for
enterprise-class cloud storage.
"Simplifying the process for our customers to obtain the perfect blend
of Dell EMC and Virtustream solutions for their digital transformation
projects is imperative," said Scott Millard, vice president, global
channels and alliances, Virtustream. "Including Virtustream Enterprise
Cloud in the Dell EMC Partner Program accomplishes this goal and arms
the already strong Dell EMC partner ecosystem with cloud solutions that
make a substantive impact on their digital transformation journey."
One Dell EMC partner, Technologent, has already tapped Virtustream to
provide enterprise-class cloud solutions for its customer, a
multibillion dollar, North American financial services firm that
operates as a key component within a global conglomerate. Technologent,
an Irvine, CA-based provider of technology solutions for Fortune 1000
enterprises, was tasked with helping this client to modernize its IT.
"Our client wanted several important benefits from its modernization
project," said Marco Mohajer, executive vice president of sales and
marketing, Technologent. "They wanted resources available on demand, a
transition from a CAPEX model to an OPEX model to help the bottom line,
and a faster time-to-market in responding to their ‘born in the cloud'
competitors. Virtustream is the perfect partner for both Technologent
and our client in developing a hybrid, multi-cloud environment that made
all of these goals a reality."
This project helped Technologent's client to:
-
Increase availability and performance of its mission-critical
applications
-
Begin the transition to an agile development methodology
-
Dramatically improve time-to-market for products and services
-
Solve resource constraints
-
Reduce operations overhead
-
Avoid unused infrastructure costs through adoption of a consumption
billing model
Dell EMC announced a unified partner program, which combined the legacy
Dell and EMC programs into an integrated and improved organization this
past February. Virtustream Storage Cloud and Virtustream Enterprise
Cloud are a part of this combined ecosystem.
