New Customers
Hard to acquire net-new accounts with generic offerings.

How does Leil help resellers escape the commodity hardware trap?
Most resellers sell identical off-the-shelf hardware where price is the only differentiator. Leil enables partners to offer the industry’s largest high-capacity HDD drives with HDD-Native optimization, giving customers solutions they cannot get from any other reseller.
How does Leil improve our margins compared to hardware-only sales?
Leil software carries significantly higher margins than commodity hardware. You move from competing on price to selling differentiated value – capacity optimization, energy savings, and drive longevity that generate recurring revenue at petabyte scale.
Can we customize Leil solutions for our customer base?
Yes. Leil provides custom reference architectures aligned to your existing hardware portfolio. Whether OEM or white-label, the solution integrates with your brand and delivery model with minimal friction.
How do reseller partners win and retain customers with Leil?
By offering best-in-class $/TB cost with secured HM-SMR capacity. Customers get scalable, reliable, high-performance storage that no competing reseller can match – creating stickiness through technology differentiation rather than price competition.
What makes Leil different from other storage we could resell?
Leil is the only platform that gives your customers drives with +20% more capacity, 70% energy savings, and 40% longer drive life. No other vendor offers HDD-Native optimization – you carry a product with significantly less channel competition.
What kind of customers should we target?
Any organization managing petabytes or more of data on HDDs: media production, research centers, AI/ML operations, healthcare imaging, financial archives, and service providers. The shift from all-flash to HDD is creating new opportunities across every data-intensive vertical.
Is there minimum commitment or territory exclusivity?
Leil partner programs are designed for flexibility with no minimum commitments. Discuss territory and exclusivity options directly with the Leil partner team during your onboarding conversation.
