Commenting on the partnership, Anand Chakravarthy, Vice President, Advanced Solutions, at Tech Data, said, “Our distribution partnership with Equinix underscores our commitment to bring top-tier digital infrastructure solutions to Singapore and Hong Kong, with Tech Data being the first distributor for Equinix in both markets. By adding Equinix’s cutting-edge offerings to our portfolio, we’re opening new market avenues and enabling managed services partners to seamlessly integrate and co-sell these solutions, and expand their offerings to be available wherever their customers need to deploy quickly. This enhanced portfolio also means increased recurring revenue streams for our managed services partners.”

At a larger scale, the partnership will enhance Tech Data’s ability to offer robust, scalable, and secure services, providing end-to-end solutions for hybrid multi-cloud workloads with key vendors such as DELL, HPE, Fortinet, Schneider Electric, and Vertiv.
