     and resolutions to reported incidents. Automated alert notifications increase case visibility and the
     sense of urgency. Formal action plans prioritize steps and owners.
 ■   Account team approach – You have direct access to an expanded team of support services
     management, field engineers and executive leadership. This account team approach expands
     visibility and ownership of cases.


 Expertise & Ongoing Training
 ■   Skills development & proficiency – Support engineers participate in rigorous Datalink and manu-
     facturer-led training programs and have achieved advanced-level certifications. Individual skills-based
     proficiency ratings drive ongoing training and development plans, enhancing quality of service. In
     addition to storage networking technology proficiency, expertise spans UNIX, Linux, and Windows
     environments, as well as database applications such as Oracle, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL, Microsoft
     Exchange, and Sybase.
 ■   Team breadth & depth – Beyond the core support team, you also have access to skill sets of
     advanced and field-based support engineers. Advanced support teams specialize in defined
     technology suites and provide level 3 and level 4 support. In addition, field-based services teams
