It’s only mid-September, but here at Ingram Micro, we’re gearing up and getting excited to attend Dell Security Peak Performance 2014 in Orlando next month. Industry events are a great opportunity to meet our mutual partners face to face, and we’re thrilled to be able to participate in this year’s event.  We’re proud of our long-standing partnership with Dell, and our roots as a leading Dell SonicWALL distribution partner for more than 22 years.

Dell brought back Peak Performance this year to help Dell Security’s PartnerDirect solution providers turn opportunity and capability into impact for your network security business—a goal that fits perfectly with Ingram Micro’s mission of helping you realize the full promise of technology. By teaming up with a channel leader like Dell, we can work together to bring you new technologies and complementary solutions that protect your customers from threats, and provide the training and education you need to become a true business consultant and trusted advisor.

We can’t wait to meet you and connect with you at Peak Performance 2014! Visit us at our booth at the tech fair, and let’s talk about the role we can play in accelerating the growth of your network security business with Dell. While you’re at the booth, you can meet the Ingram team and enter for an opportunity to win a $500 Stub Hub gift card. See you there! Tune in online and follow the conversation on Twitter at @DellSecurity and IngramMicro at @IngramMicroInc with the conference hashtag #Peak2014.
