Tech Data resellers are now able to extend their managed services and more easily migrate customer workloads onto Microsoft Azure following the introduction of a new data centre optimisation service.
Tech Data's DC Optimisation is designed for partners that have already started to build their cloud practices but want to take their business to the next level.
John-James Uezzell, Microsoft business development manager at Tech Data, said: "Our DC Optimisation service gives partners a platform and pathway to accelerate their Azure business."
Tech Data will offer resellers training on selling, deploying and running Azure solutions for customers and will assist in planning and executing marketing and lead generation programmes.
Partners that sign-up for the DC Optimisation scheme will have access to Tech Data's Azure Centre of Excellence, pre-configured Azure solutions and blueprints to make selling and deployment easier, said the firm.
