Powerlink and partners…..again.

Friday, March 9th, 2007

I’m into this discussion on storagezilla’s new site ( storagezilla.typepad.com ) and it kind of brought out an issue I had today.

I’m onsite in North Carolina (still – unforutnately) and I’m working with the customer to get ahold of the DST patches (part of the reason for my last post….) for ControlCenter.  So I do what any EMC person would do right?

I ask the customer to log into powerlink and download it because I DON’T HAVE ACCESS TO THE DOWNLOADS!

I’m sorry, was I yelling?   Yes, I actually had to ask the customer to log in and download something because EMC doesn’t trust their trusted partner with full access to powerlink.

The customer actually commented that it was pretty sad that EMC trusts me to go to a customer site and manipulate their storage and sensitive data, but they didn’t trust me with their own software.

It is pretty pathetic isn’t it?
