Tech Data, a TD SYNNEX Company, has on Thursday announced a new partnership with Equinix, a global digital infrastructure company, with Tech Data being named the first distributor for Equinix’s solutions in Singapore and Hong Kong.

This strategic collaboration will enhance the delivery of hybrid multi-cloud solutions and help businesses build secure, scalable, digital infrastructure with advanced technology and comprehensive support, Tech Data said in a statement.

Through this collaboration, Tech Data will distribute Equinix Fabric®, an on-demand virtual interconnection service that enables secure and dynamic connections to cloud service providers (CSPs), supply chain contributors, and partner and customer ecosystems.

Tech Data will also distribute Equinix’s suite of Data Center Services that includes private, secure and customizable data center solutions.

These solutions will help address market gaps by simplifying complex infrastructures and offer a single global platform that makes digital infrastructure more powerful and accessible.

“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,” said Anand Chakravarthy, Vice President, Advanced Solutions at Tech Data.

He said this enhanced portfolio also means increased recurring revenue streams for the firm’s managed services partners.

At a larger scale, the partnership will also 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.

This will be crucial in helping businesses across industries build modern digital infrastructures that support mission-critical operations.

“Our partnership with Tech Data will open up new opportunities for partners to increase recurring revenue streams for data center, network, cloud and SaaS elements on their customers’ digital infrastructure,
