One of your most powerful Data Robotics Partner sales tools is the Drobo itself!

Our partners tell us that getting Drobo in the hands of customers is a key success factor in closing business. Other storage products may look good on paper, but when the end-user experiences the award winning industrial design, and look and feel of the Drobo, they quickly lose interest in other products.

Data Robotics is eager to assist you in acquiring evaluation units (not for resale) through Drobo Partner Advantage (DPA). Drobo Advantage members are eligible to purchase up to 2 evaluation units of Drobo -- at a significant discount.

Eval discounts are applied only on the core system - accessories, hard drives and service/warranty options do not qualify.

Alternatively, Data Robotics has a limited quantity of short-term loaner systems available for strategic customer opportunities. Please be advised that because the demand generally exceeds the supply of these loaner systems, requests for these units are often subject to delay. As such, we strongly recommend securing your own eval units, when possible. To inquire about the availability of these loaner units, you should contact Data Robotics Inside Sales organization.

Units purchased under the Eval Unit Discount Program (which are not for resale) serve two main purposes:

• Demonstration units for field sales personnel to demonstrate on customer calls
• Loaners to potential customers for short-term evaluations

On top of that, showing Drobo in public generates results. Some of our partners' best sales leads have come from simply showing the product at regional/national events, so we strongly encourage you to speak with your distributor rep or your Data Robotics channel sales executive about how your company can take advantage of our Eval Unit Discount Program to boost your sales!
