GLOCOMP Systems (M) Sdn Bhd, one of Malaysia’s leading information and communication technology (ICT) solutions providers, was recently appointed as a distributor for global digital infrastructure outfit, Equinix.
This strategic partnership enables Glocomp to offer Equinix’s suite of data centre and inter-connection services – including Equinix Fabric – a private, on-demand inter-connection solution that enables secure connections to cloud service providers, partner and customer ecosystems.
This partnership represents a significant milestone for Glocomp as it ‘further elevates the group’s already strong reputation in the digital infrastructure landscape nationwide, according to managing director Joseph Giam (main image, left).
“With the finalisation of this agreement, Glocomp is now able to deliver cutting-edge innovations that will enable Malaysian businesses to successfully embrace digital transformation and drive sustainable growth,” he pointed out.
