IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 9, 2017 — Synoptek, an Equinix Gold Managed Service Provider partner, was named as the 2016 Equinix Americas New Partner of the Year at Equinix’s 2017 Global Sales Kickoff conference last week by the Executive Team, Channel, and Field Sales organizations. In 2016, Equinix, the global interconnection and data center leader, and Synoptek had introduced the first ever Managed Performance Hub offering. The unique solution was developed to address the needs of organizations struggling to maintain the highest level of network performance and quality of service for global users.
Incredible Results from this Partnership

To name a few successes, Synoptek accomplished incredible results in 2016, launching one of the fastest growing product set, gaining traction in the market’s demand within a fairly short time span, and adding brand new customers that can truly benefit from the core competencies of both Equinix and Synoptek.
“Adding Synoptek to our global partner program has been a great success for Equinix,” said Greg Adgate, Vice President of Global Technology Partners and Alliances at Equinix. “The work we have done together over the past year, specifically with the Managed Performance Hub solution, has been instrumental in providing an entry point for enterprises new to Equinix, enabling them to incorporate cloud into their overall IT infrastructure in a high-performance and cost-effective manner. We are pleased by the enthusiastic reception from the enterprise and look forward to future successes together.”
“Ultimately the results we achieved were a product of the largest cloud foundation in the world, which Equinix’s global infrastructure and our global managed service delivery platform provide,” said Tim Britt, Synoptek CEO.”By combining our IT service delivery capability with the Equinix’s foundation, we were able to deliver value that our customers had not yet imagined in a rapidly evolving cloud market.”
