Increasing U.S. partner’s hybrid cloud solutions revenue by offering secure co-location solutions
Avnet,

a leading global technology distributor, today announced the expansion
of its portfolio to include co-location solutions from CoreSite,
a leading provider of data
center and interconnection
services with direct access to leading cloud providers such as AWS,
Google and Microsoft. With CoreSite’s 17
data centers across eight major metropolitan areas in the U.S., this
expansion will bolster Avnet’s already strong portfolio of trusted
co-location providers that enable hybrid cloud environments. CoreSite’s
services will be available in the Avnet catalog as a standard available
offering as well as through the Avnet
Cloud Marketplace, empowering Avnet partners to help their customers
move into off-premise, multi-tenant data center models.
“Avnet’s new relationship with CoreSite makes it simpler than ever for
partners to capitalize on the growing demand among customers for hybrid
cloud environments,” said Tim FitzGerald, vice president of Avnet’s
digital transformation business in the Americas. “CoreSite’s co-location
solutions combined with the strength of Avnet’s cloud and hybrid data
center services will help partners quickly solve for common customer
challenges in the cloud, including cost, performance and security. This
is another great example of how Avnet continues to innovate its cloud
solutions that span all solutions aspects, including design,
integration, delivery, implementation, migration and disposal.”
Avnet provides custom co-location solutions at market-competitive rates.
These services can help increase revenue opportunities for partners as
well as enable them to provide end-to-end solutions for their customers.
