To penetrate the midmarket quickly and efficiently, DNF has chosen to partner with distributor Bell Microproducts. The partnership was a natural one, Ervin said, since not only has DNF teamed with Bell Micro before on other projects, but Bell Micro has been working with Apple resellers on how to best sell storage through the channel.
"Going through Bell will definitely help DNF penetrate the midmarket better, because most midrange customers go through channel partners," Yezhkova said. "That's the fastest way for DNF to penetrate this market."

The new StorMacX products are expected to be available via Bell Micro shortly. Gary Gammon, senior vice president of enterprise product marketing at Bell, said it will be available as a package with the Apple Xserve RAID array, or as a stand-along product solution providers can use to build their own solutions.

"We put together the entire box for our customer specific LCDs," says Chuck Kostalnick, vice president OEM division for Bell Microproducts in San Jose, Calif. "We do touchscreen applications. We put an LCD together with a single board computer. We do full pack out for the customer. In fact, we will ship it to our customer's customer."
He says Bell provide a lot of design services. "Our customers are OEMs which need some level of customization — a customized design around a product. Often it is single board computers or a product that is embedded into a larger system. In addition many OEMs lack that type of expertise because they have fewer hardware engineers that in the past.
