Go right to the source and you can get the information you seek... key is to understand that as a Partner there are different levels and you work you way up that ladder. Also like any big business that is out there, your partnership and how it benefits you is based on the products you offer and how they fit with particular jobs.
If Dell receives a contract to be the Cloud overseer for a major company and you provide a service or product that helps to run the Cloud division better then you are asked to join that particular contract and are paid for that specific job based on the contract you have with Dell Its very difficult to get in the door and it continues to be difficult to move up the ladder thru the different Partner levels.
