IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ingram Micro Cloud today announced it is now offering Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Google Workspace and Chrome Enterprise to its reseller network across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. Ingram Micro Cloud is making its distinctive Google Cloud offerings – previously launched in the US, UK, Canada and France – exclusively available to its network in these markets for the first time.
The move bolsters the global offering of Ingram Micro’s Cloud Marketplace, with partners now having the ability to leverage Ingram Micro Cloud to grow their Google Cloud Platform, Google Workspace and Chrome Enterprise businesses.
Google Cloud and Ingram Micro Cloud are working together to advance channel partners’ current skills and offerings, and develop new resources to support partners in managing end customers. Ingram Micro Cloud also covers a wide range of partner enablement and support initiatives to help partners build GCP, Google Workspace and Chrome Enterprise practices through its partner programs, which provide end-to-end engagement models for Ingram Micro Cloud to enable systems integrators (SIs) and independent software vendors (ISVs).
Victor Paradell, executive director, cloud channel sales, emerging markets at Ingram Micro Cloud, says, “Channel partners in the region will benefit from the strength of this collaboration to capture significant growth opportunities across Google’s end-to-end cloud services offerings.” Paradell continues, “Ingram Micro Cloud is incredibly excited to partner with Google Cloud, and in turn provide our reseller partners across Southeast Asia with exclusive access to our Google Cloud Platform, Google Workspace and Chrome Enterprise portfolio. With this announcement, we show our commitment to ensuring our partners have access to the best cloud productivity, collaboration and infrastructure solutions, services, and enablement benefits that allow them to unlock the digital opportunity uptake in this region, which is one of the fastest growing in the world.”
As a result of this expanded relationship with Google Cloud, Ingram Micro Cloud expects its vast partner network to have new opportunities to meet customer needs, while expanding their IaaS businesses. The news comes amid a boom in the global IaaS market, with Gartner reporting 40.7% growth in worldwide IaaS public cloud services in 2020 and market researchers predicting that the industry will reach $74.63 billion by 2025.
“We’ve been experiencing unprecedented demand from businesses as they embrace the cloud to drive resilience, innovation and growth. This surge in cloud deployments means that the need for highly-skilled partners to advance our customers’ digital transformation goals has never been greater,” said Ruma Balasubramanian, managing director, Southeast Asia at Google Cloud. “With Ingram Micro Cloud’s proven experience in establishing and scaling successful Google Cloud practices, SIs and ISVs can gain significant opportunities to deliver high-value implementation and professional services, vertical solutions, and digital transformation expertise. We are proud that our partners have seen impressive growth across virtually every facet of their business, and our collaboration with Ingram Micro Cloud is part of our commitment toward providing the region’s partner ecosystem with the products, services, training and go-to-market support that’s needed to accelerate our joint momentum.”
