The size of companies? Well, Dell is big as is HP. We are an HP shop and currently buy through Quest. That said, we talk to our HP TAM and Quest Sales person to coordinate our lease refreshes. Any moderate sized purchase should be planned out like this. We are part way through refreshing 24 enclosures for this year and having coordinated like this, little supply issues can be dealt with and the venders can plan to have things available. Quest also knows if we get really irritated we'll switch to CDW or something.
I am sure both Dell and HP would be more then happy to bring in the power point presentations to show how their integrated solutions of hardware and monitoring are awesomeness :) Steven Peck http://www.blkmtn.org On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 8:33 PM, Ryan Finnesey < [email protected]> wrote: > I would be curious to know the size of the companies.
