Philippine technology solutions provider Total Information Management Corp. (TIM Corp) will now be able to deploy Infiny by Epsilon Telecommunications (Epsilon) at its data center in the Philippines.

Epsilon, Singapore-based connectivity and communications service provider, taps TIM Corp as its channel partner in the country.

As a partner, TIM Corp can bundle Epsilon’s connectivity services with its own domestic service offering. Its customers can use the Network as a Service (NaaS) platform to deliver direct connections to the cloud and interconnect data centers using Epsilon’s network backbone.

“Our channel partner program is designed to accelerate our partner’s go-to-market strategy and support new business requirements,” said Warren Aw, managing director, Asia Pacific at Epsilon. “We offer a simple commercial model that enables managed service providers to capitalize on new networking opportunities in the cloud without the need to build their own infrastructure.”

With Infiny, TIM Corp can deliver Epsilon’s ethernet services, including Data Centre Interconnect, Cloud Connect and Remote Peering, to its Filipino customers. It provides on-demand connectivity to over 250 data centers with on-ramps to Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud.

“Partnering with Epsilon and bringing Infiny into our business is an important step forward in our roadmap,” said Egie Gutierrez, VP, Data Center Services, Sales and Operations at TIM Corp. “To keep up with the growing appetite for the cloud in the Philippines, we want to make cloud connectivity simpler and more efficient for our customers. Infiny is a complementary addition to our existing services, and it brings a whole new ecosystem to our business. With Epsilon as our partner, we can now deliver a much more comprehensive set of service offerings to our customers.”
