Dot Hill Enhanced Partner Program

Dot Hill Systems Corp announced enhancements to its
Connections Partner Program for all EMEA based partners, offering improved
collaboration, new lead generation resources, and expanded revenue opportunities
for those partners who have demonstrated their dedication to doing business
with Dot Hill.

Dot Hill’s Connections Partner Program advancements primarily focus
on adding field resources, value-add programs and solutions based sales tools
to the most committed partners and rewarding those partners that have
demonstrated their loyalty; these partners have access to additional privileges
such as amplified professional service offerings, demand-generation toolkits,
marketing support and margin protection. Alongside these additions
are changes designed to make it easier for all
partners to do business with Dot Hill such
as streamlined channel pricing, as well as improved access to
technical support and services.

At the helm of the new channel partner program is Brad Painter, a
24-year channel IT veteran, who joined the company in July 2011 from Pillar
Data Systems where he served as vice president of worldwide channel sales.

"Fortifying our channel commitment, Dot Hill’s partner program is more focused
than ever on building strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with its
committed partners," said Painter. "While the Connections Partner
Program is open to all storage partners and offers margin protection through
deal registration, we plan to work more closely with focused partners to drive
incremental and profitable sales growth. We believe partners will welcome our
emphasis on partner profitability, collaboration and synergy."

"We have a great partnership with Dot Hill spanning several
years and their innovative storage products enable our customers to be first to
market with new storage technology time and time again. The latest enhancements
to what has been a very efficient and valuable partner program really position
Dot Hill as a best-in-class channel vendor," said Jason Beeson, sales
director at storage distributor Hammer plc.

"Stordis has built its reputation on delivering specialist high
performance technology with short lead times and unrivaled support, we can only
do this with the support of vendors who are truly dedicated to the channel. The
Connections Partner Program for EMEA shows that Dot Hill has the level of
vision and commitment that we need from our suppliers," comments Alexander
Jeffries, CEO of pan-European distributor Stordis.
