Data centre operator Next Generation Data (NGD) has appointed Lee Cauchie as Head of Channel.
He is to ramp up NGD's UK and international channel sales through partnerships with service providers requiring colocation facilities for hosting web, cloud, infrastructure- and software-as-a-service (Iaas/Saas) solutions.
With his hardware, software, networks and security sales background, Cauchie is well equipped to drive NGD's channel business forward. He joins from LenovoEMC (formerly Iomega Corporation) where he was Business Development Manager and prior to this Sales Manager for IT distributor, ASBIS Group.
Since NGD launched its Channel Partner programme last year a growing number of UK and international service provider and reseller organisations have installed racks at its NGD Europe mega data centre conveniently located from the M4 motorway near Newport, South Wales.
These include such companies as UNIT4, Certus IT, Commercial IT, CAE, Surf Telecom, Netplan and TechQuarter.
"NGD Europe is proving to be a popular and profitable haven for channel customers of all sizes and I am very excited about the opportunity of recruiting many more in the months to come," commented Cauchie.
