Taran joins Dell's top table

Basingstoke-based reseller elevated to Certified tier of PartnerDirect

Dell has unveiled its latest UK Certified partner in the form of Basingstoke-based reseller Taran Microsystems.

Taran has joined Dell’s PartnerDirect programme as a Certified partner, achieving both the SME and enterprise architecture accreditations. The badge will grant the reseller access to field-based account management and a range of financing options, deal registration and support from the vendor.

Taran, which has been working with Dell for many years, indicated it would focus on Dell’s EqualLogic storage range.

Claudette Jones, corporate sales manager at Taran Microsystems, said: “All of our Corporate Sales team and Technical Division have completed and passed the EqualLogic examinations which are now driving us to push these exciting new products to all of our corporate customers.

“iSCSI SAN and virtualisation is definitely the way forward and we are very confident that our sales will increase with this addition to our product portfolio.”

The announcement comes shortly after Dell anointed former EqualLogic UK boss Paul Harrison as its new UK channel head, replacing Andy Dow.
