Arrow Electronics, a global technology supplier, has announced a renewed strategic collaboration also active in Italy with Equinix, a global reference company in the digital infrastructure sector, from which it recently received the prestigious recognition of "EMEA Distributor of the Year 2024".
The collaboration will allow Arrow's channel partners in Italy to resell Equinix services as components of integrated solutions aimed at network optimization, enabling hybrid multi-cloud environments and improving the performance of application workloads. Equinix services, which include co-location in data centers, private connections to the main public cloud providers and a wide range of connectivity solutions, will now also be available to channel partners in Italy, in addition to the other 11 countries in the EMEA area, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Spain.
Mike Worby, head of strategic alliances for Arrow's enterprise computing solutions in EMEA, said: "We are excited to partner with Equinix to provide our channel partners with access to industry-leading digital infrastructure solutions. This collaboration will enable companies to accelerate their digital initiatives, optimize network performance and achieve greater agility in their operations."
The “EMEA Distributor of the Year 2024” award given by Equinix highlights Arrow's ability to innovate and develop technologies and programs that, through relationships with channel partners, enable companies to succeed in digital transformation processes and prepare for the future. Arrow has demonstrated strong leadership in Equinix's channel model, with startup and deployment initiatives having significant impact across the EMEA region.
Johan Arts, senior vice president of sales EMEA at Equinix, added: "Deployment plays a critical role in our channel model and Arrow has demonstrated strong leadership within our partner ecosystem. Launch and enablement activities have helped partners recognize and deliver the value of Equinix, supporting their IT infrastructure renewal process and driving tangible business outcomes."
