Axiz has announced a distribution partnership with Equinix. The agreement expands Axiz’s portfolio by making Equinix’s data centre and interconnection solutions available to partners and customers across South Africa and the wider African region.
The partnership links Axiz’s established distribution network with Equinix’s global infrastructure solutions. Businesses will gain access to colocation services at the Johannesburg IBX data centre (JN1), the Equinix Fabric® software-defined interconnection service, and the wider Equinix ecosystem of cloud providers, networks, and enterprises.
Axiz said the agreement strengthens its portfolio and enables its partners to meet growing demand for reliable and scalable infrastructure services.
Craig Brunsden, CEO of Axiz, commented that Axiz’s goal is always to provide the channel with access to the technologies that are shaping the future of business. “By partnering with Equinix, Axiz can now offer partners a straightforward route to reliable colocation and interconnection services, backed by global standards of performance and security,” he added.
Cloud adoption in South Africa continues to increase creating a demand for reliable data centres and interconnection services to support cloud workloads and secure access to global platforms.
The partnership allows Equinix to extend its reach into South Africa and across the continent through a trusted distributor with strong local knowledge.
“Working with Axiz gives us the ability to reach businesses across Africa through an established channel network. Resellers and their customers will now have easier access to secure, sustainable, and interconnected infrastructure, supported by both Equinix and Axiz’s expertise,” said Sandile Dube, Managing Director, South Africa at Equinix.
Equinix added that the partnership will simplify engagement for resellers by removing barriers to entry and providing direct support from its channel team.
Carissa Singh, Partner Sales Leader, South Africa at Equinix, said that Axiz’s channel footprint ensures that more businesses can benefit from Equinix’s services. “This collaboration makes it simpler for resellers to procure, build solutions and close deals quickly, while giving their customers access to the global digital platforms they need.”
Both companies said the partnership expands the availability of advanced infrastructure services in Africa, making it easier for local businesses to connect with global platforms and ecosystems.
