StorageTek works with the industry’s best-in-class technology partners to provide our mutual customers with the most value from their technology purchases.

The StorageTek TekAlliance™ Partner Program features key technology partners, such as storage ISVs and IHVs, that work with StorageTek to jointly provide fully integrated and tested "certified interoperability"¹ solutions to our mutual customers.

The TekDirect Partner Program provides a standard and efficient method for StorageTek® to resell third-party hardware, software or services. By joining forces, StorageTek and our participating TekDirect Partners work together to help fulfill our customers’ ILM solution requirements.

"Certified interoperability" is not a guarantee, but is an indication
that very specific configurations of each company’s product(s) have been tested together, on a specific platform (OS), if applicable, and have been found to be a working, supportable configuration by both companies.
