Adnon Dow, Vice President of Global Mobility Solutions, SYNNEX

  • Mobility is all about collaboration and the sharing of information; it's like when the cellphone and the Internet came out — taken to the next level.
  • Synnex sees some clear mobility challenges. They include business continuity, security, governance, risk and compliance, and insights/analytics.
  • "Chaos, in my opinion, creates opportunity."
  • The era of disruption is about connecting to anyone to any device to anywhere.
  • Connect, move, and control are three areas where mobility platform transform industries.
  • Connect includes consumer devices, portable data terminals, rugged computing and M2M.
  • Move involves IP MPLS networks, 3g/LTE, WIFI, and RFID.
  • And control involves application management, device management, mobile VPN, and insight and reporting.
  • Mobility road shows at http://www.mobilitysolv.com.

Aaron Mills, VP, U.S. Midsize Commercial Sales, HP

  • Many partners have been asking what's up with HP?

  • "We are making longer-term investments."
  • "We are currently in the fix and build year — ahead of schedule."
  • HP wants to be an industry-leading company by 2016;
  • About 45 percent of the company's revenue in 2013 is in enterprise services and enterprise group.
  • "We are looking for partners in the data center space."
  • HP is proactively focusing on midsize commercial businesses (mid-size commercial model).
  • "My sales people wake up every day and say 'I work for the the channel.' "
  • The new style of IT involves mobility, cloud, social, big data, client/server, PCs, and transactional systems.
  • Why did HP invest in 3Com? "We have a networking infrastructure that is designed for the 21st century."  
  • Keep an eye on 3Par revenue.
  • "We are totally channel led, we can't do it without you."
  • Tracy Galloway pitched a range of storage, data and networking solutions for attendees.

Steve Gay, Managing Partner, VARCommerce and Jeffrey Bohlig, Chief Operating Officer, Compar

  • OneIT is a platform for VARs to run their business; it leverages Autotask and VARCOMMERCE;

  • VARCOMMERCE is a single place to run your business.

Reyna Thompson, VP of CONVERGESolv Secure Networking, SYNNEX and Kirk Nesbit, Vice President of SERVICESolv, SYNNEX

  • Data is growing annually 35 to 50 percent per year.
  • Proliferation of devices and cloud computing are drivers for technology.
  • Infrastructure is being taxed, security is a challenge, integrated ecosystems are preferred, and big incumbents are slow to adopt are challenges.
  • Big opportunities in IaaS, private cloud
