Got word that CDW will begin selling Pure Storage September/October. EMC had an gentlemen's agreement to give them more kickbacks on deals. Since the major decline (as much as 60%) in EMC products going through CDW they have decided to begin selling Pure Storage. This is huge news since the largest reseller of Nutanix was CDW and CDW was the 1st or 2nd largest reseller of Nimble before it was acquired by HPE. You can expect Pure's sales to increase by another 20% - 30%. Have a great weekend

Good luck to CDW. Pure has been burning through 250 million a year by giving its equipment away. First hiccup in the economy and they are gone.
Dell signed a deal with EMC back in early 2016 .
this merger is a terrible deal
Rumor confirmed, this will occur in the Central Region of US as a test before going out to the rest of the regions.
EMC had deals with CDW but Dell did not. CDW is a Lenovo shop. Vendors visiting CDW were not even permitted to bring Dell laptops inside.
So much for the Dell CDW Partnership. Dell ruins everything they touch. who wants to work for the,
CDW ?
