Channel Partner Frequently Asked Questions
How do customers find partners they want to work with?
Customers are able to identify partners they want to work with a number of ways:
- They search via the channel partner Ecosystem page on the website and isolate services available based on their needs.
- They hear about services and specialties available in our ecosystem via our customer stories page, as well as through the thought-leadership article we co-author with many of our partners and feature on our website’s blog section.
- They see partners and services available inside each data centre, as promoted on our digital screens.
- They ask our team for suggestions (so, it always pays to be nice to us).
Can I choose which vendors and carriers I work with?
-
100%. Our business has been carrier and vendor neutral since day one. It was built to support complete flexibility and choice. We are Australia’s only truly partner-centric data centre provider, offering complete service neutrality. That means that you can choose to work with any partner or vendor you like! And our ecosystem is always growing as we continue to add enhanced capabilities and specialist services.
-
If there’s a solution or digital service you need, there’s a high probability that the partner or service is located within our national digital infrastructure footprint, which can be accessed by Cross Connect or via AXON (our awesome interconnection platform). If you’re not sure who is best suited to your needs, ask our team for some recommendations of partners best suited to your requirements.
What training do you provide?
- We provide the custom training your team or you customer requires, whether that’s sales training or operational training on how to get the most out of our facilities.
- From a sales perspective, we can talk about the data centre until we are blue in the face, but we try not to. Rather, we help your teams prospect and look for data centre opportunities as part of the bigger solutions you are offering. We help you work with your customers to provide insights on the megatrends affecting their businesses.
- Operationally, we’ll help you with our data centre tools like ONEDC and AXON. We provide best practice rack and power configuration advice and detailed online and physical site inductions for the facilities you are using.
Do you give partners leads?
Yes, all the time. We acquire hundreds of leads every quarter. Roughly 15% of them are given to our partners where we know there is close alignment to the customer’s needs. We allocate most leads that are one rack or less. Or where there is interest in a fully managed service, or colocation bundled with alternative cloud based services, we seek the support of our partners to manage the lead.
Who will have access to my racks?
- NEXTDC’s racks are individually secured by our customised electronic rack-locking system, with granular access managed through your ONEDC customer portal. Access rights are locked down and established by the customer – either your own business, or your end customer. Access rights are completely customisable, and you can establish them from user level through to contractors and workgroups. And there’s a full and immediate access log available anytime for security and compliance reporting.
- Only you (or your customer) have access to their rack. Access inside the data centre is rigorously controlled by NEXTDC’s federated security system using ADFS. Access to any given secure location within a data centre is only granted to the people who are meant to be there. For example, if you have a rack located in Data Hall 2 on Level 2 at S2, your IDAC will only allow you access to Level 2, Data Hall 2 (no matter how nicely you ask). And individual access is further locked down to the rack row that your rack resides in.
