Referral Program Complement Your Business with the former Switch and Data, now Equinix's Partner Referral Program

As a trusted advisor to enterprise customers, start-ups and venture capitalists, you have an early awareness of your client's data center needs. At Switch and Data, we understand your requirements to remain unbiased and consultative in the process. Our Referral Program is designed to professionally assist you and your client in making comprehensive and balanced data center decisions.

Share Referrals and Give Your Customers More

It is important to note that Switch and Data's business model is complementary to your business - we do not compete with you:

  • We do not sell software, hardware or networking equipment
  • We do not provide application management
  • We do not sell bandwidth or transport
We DO offer state-of-the-art, hardened data centers for colocation. We have a solid sales team to support our existing accounts and focus on critical competitive leads, referrals and wins. In order to continue our aggressive revenue growth over the next three years, we are determined to expand our market reach and demand-generating capability. We count on your business referrals (link to form) to help propel us forward.

Our Referral Program Advantages
In building our Referral Program, we want to ensure that the privileged relationship you have with your customers is always protected. We recognize the care and professionalism we offer to your referral is a reflection of you and your team. Our partnering process is straightforward; we will acknowledge the lead opportunity within two business hours. Within 24 hours, a representative will be in touch with you or your client, prepared to review requirements and respond with a quote. Our referral fees are the highest in the industry. We are also mindful of the need for transparency - so, should you request, we can forgo the referral fees and offer the customer a rebate in lieu of referral payments.
