With it in place, the VCE has created a single registration and ordering portal, allowing for a partner to easily queue up an entire Vblock infrastructure solution for sale or deployment. VCE is also allowing ‘stackable’ Cisco and EMC channel program incentives to encourage partners to work with VCE. Volume-based incentives exist, too.”
