Arrow Electronics, a global technology provider, has been recognized as Equinix 2025 Distributor of the Year for EMEA.
The award recognizes Arrow's outstanding contributions to the development of innovative digital infrastructures and programs that enable customers to expand securely, interconnect globally and prepare their digital transformation for future challenges.
This is the second consecutive year that Arrow has been named Distributor of the Year, reflecting the continued growth of the collaboration between the two companies across the EMEA region.
Arrow has been collaborating with Equinix since 2024, the year in which the two companies signed the distribution agreement for the EMEA area. The agreement is aimed at helping channel partners to provide Equinix services as part of integrated solutions for network optimization, the implementation of hybrid multi-cloud environments and the improvement of application workload performance.
Equinix integrates data center colocation services, private connections to leading public cloud providers, and a broad range of interconnection services across its global network of International Business Exchange (IBX) data centers. Thanks to the agreement, Arrow's channel partners can propose, deliver and bill Equinix services with a monthly recurring fee, taking advantage of the support of ArrowSphere Cloud and Arrow's regional technical and commercial teams.
“Since we began our collaboration with Equinix, the focus has been on helping channel partners develop stronger digital infrastructure offerings across connectivity, cloud and application performance,” said Mike Worby, head of strategic alliances at Arrow Enterprise Computing Solutions in EMEA. “Receiving this award for the second consecutive year reflects the progress we have made together in helping channel partners equip themselves with the business models, technical expertise and coverage needed to meet the evolving needs of customers across EMEA.”
“Arrow has demonstrated strong leadership and a valuable contribution to the Equinix partner ecosystem,” said Stefan Diedericks, vice president partner ecosystem at Equinix in EMEA. "In 2025, our collaboration has advanced through close coordination across EMEA, which has successfully enabled high-impact partners. As our collaboration continues to evolve, we look forward to building on this momentum to achieve even more meaningful results together."
