Building upon the success of previous years and its commitment to the channel's continued success, CoreSite is announcing a new referral program for its partners, available immediately. With this new offering, CoreSite will now go to market with three distinct engagement models available through its Partner Program – referral, agent and reseller, with corresponding earnings opportunities based on the level of partner engagement. Referral partners can easily and efficiently engage with CoreSite by referring an opportunity and subsequently allowing CoreSite to directly manage the sales process and ensuing relationship.

As part of its ongoing commitment to its channel program, CoreSite is also announcing a new Vice President of Channel and Alliances, Dave Biermann. Dave brings more than 20 years of global technology sales, marketing and P&L leadership experience to the CoreSite team. Prior to joining CoreSite, Dave held channel leadership roles with Rackspace, Level 3 and Global Crossing.

"We are very pleased to have Dave join our sales leadership team. The Channel Partner Program is an integral component of CoreSite's overall growth strategy and our goal of continuing to attract enterprises to our value-added platform," said Steve Smith, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at CoreSite. "With 20 current operating data centers across eight strategic markets, and expansions announced in the Denver, Northern Virginia, and Washington D.C. markets, the channel represents an important contributor to our success in filling these facilities and fueling future expansions across our portfolio."

CoreSite also announced its partner awards for 2016, reflecting the success of its partnerships throughout that year.
