Leaseweb launches UK channel partner program

Leaseweb has launched a UK channel partner program that offers three engagement tracks-reseller, referral and solution-and expanded pre-sales and technical support. The programme includes access to the company’s AI-ready infrastructure and GPU-powered cloud services for accelerated compute workloads.

The initiative targets managed service providers, cloud vendors and infrastructure partners that advise customers on where to run workloads across dedicated, private and public clouds. According to Leaseweb, the programme is intended to provide commercial flexibility and support as organisations adopt hybrid cloud strategies and increase use of AI, machine learning and data-intensive services.

Partners can choose the engagement model that fits their business. The programme provides enhanced technical and pre-sales resources to help partners scope, sell and deliver infrastructure and cloud services more efficiently.

Leaseweb has appointed Jason Goody as UK channel sales manager to expand the partner network. Goody brings more than 20 years of channel experience and joins from OVHcloud, where he led that company’s UK partner programme. At Leaseweb he will focus on growing relationships with MSPs, systems integrators and technology vendors across the UK.

Terry Storrar, managing director for Leaseweb UK, described the channel as a major growth opportunity for the business and said the programme gives partners flexibility, support and scalability to deliver services to customers.

Founded in the Netherlands in 1997, Leaseweb operates 28 data centres worldwide and provides cloud, hosting, colocation, content delivery and managed infrastructure services. The company has expanded its channel focus to address rising enterprise demand for mixed cloud deployments and infrastructure capable of supporting AI and machine learning workloads.
