Cyxtera, a global leader in data center colocation and interconnection services, today announced the launch of the Cyxtera Global Federal Partner Program. The program offers partners competitive reseller pricing as a way of generating a profitable revenue stream by integrating Cyxtera retail colocation, interconnection, and Enterprise Bare Metal solutions into their core offerings.
The Cyxtera Global Federal Partner Program is an extension of the company’s core Global Partner Program launched in 2020. The company’s program provides industry-leading incentives and flexibility with scalable access to multiple levels of benefits and support. By extending the program’s benefits to the Federal market, Cyxtera is furthering its commitment to providing enhanced value to its partners as a critical component of its go-to-market strategy.
“With the launch of our new Global Federal Partner Program, Cyxtera is adding an increased focus on the Federal market and ensuring all the great benefits of our channel programs are being extended to our Federal partners,” said Leo Taddeo, Cyxtera’s President of the Federal Group and CISO. “There is tremendous opportunity for us to work closely with our Federal partners to solve critical IT challenges for Federal government agencies. This is just the beginning, and we’re committed to driving mutual success for our Federal partners and Cyxtera.”
Partners included in Cyxtera’s Global Federal Partner Program receive unique benefits and have specific requirements based on three different tiers – Platinum, Gold, and Silver. Partners are rewarded based on the level of investment made to drive opportunities for Cyxtera and delivering mutual revenue growth. Cyxtera will provide access to partner enablement and support tools such as deal registration, training, and ongoing marketing support to accelerate success for all Federal reseller partners.
“Enabling our government customers to achieve greater efficiencies while deploying their IT infrastructure in secure and reliable colocation facilities to support their mission-critical applications is critically important in today’s market,” said Robert Quick, Federal Civilian Account Manager, Sirius Federal. “Partnering with Cyxtera enables us to deliver innovative solutions that meet the Federal government’s rigorous requirements and help them manage their budgets effectively. By extending its channel programs to the Federal market, Cyxtera is making an added investment to ensure the success of its Federal partners.”
Participants in the Cyxtera Global Federal Partner Program provide government agencies access to Cyxtera’s suite of digital infrastructure and interconnection solutions, as well as the company’s expansive ecosystem of network providers and cloud on ramps. Public sector customers can also access on-demand infrastructure via the Cyxtera digital exchange, which has been designated as FedRAMP Ready at the High Impact level. The digital exchange’s FedRAMP Ready status allows federal agencies to deploy secure private infrastructure in Cyxtera’s data centers with the speed and flexibility of cloud.
“The structure of our Global Partner Program, including our new Federal version, was purpose-built to provide our partners every resource they need to succeed, as well as a robust set of benefits that can help drive strong results for their business and our partnership,” said Nicholas Voth, Cyxtera’s Vice President of Global Channel Strategy and Sales. “You can expect to see additional enhancements to our programs throughout the year as all of our channel routes to market are an essential part of our continued global growth in 2021.”
