Check the HCL below to ensure that the Dell Storage is supported.

If you are going to use it as a disk storage, then you don't need any additional licence.  However, if you are going to use it as an OST appliance, if it is capable, then you need to buy the dedup option licence.

You need a core BE licence, an Agent for Application and Databases to backup Exchange

If you are going to use the Dell storage as a disk storage, then you don't need any additional licence.  However, if you are going to use it as an OST appliance, if it is capable, then you need to buy the BE dedup option licence.  In addition, you would need to buy whatever Dell licences to turn the Dell device into an OST device.

What is core BE license?? Is Enterprise Options server??

The core BE license is the license you buy for the media server. It is not the ESO license. You might want to read this http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH178479 As a partner, I am sure you can get some training. This forum is not the place to get educated
