Alkira Launches Channel Program to Help Partners Solve Complex Networking and AI Challenges

Published On: March 15, 2026Categories: Buzz

Alkira, a San Jose-based Network Infrastructure as a Service (NIaaS) company, today announced the launch of the Alkira Connect Partner Program, targeting Global Systems Integrators (GSIs), MSPs, cloud service providers, and security and AI-focused firms with a foundation to monetize high-value services.

The company promises higher tiered margins, quarterly rebates, and customer prepay bonuses that help improve cash flow. Other benefits include an MDF program, larger SPIFFs associated with signing new customers, access to Alkira’s lab for early feature testing, plus an OEM-sponsored President’s Club to recognize top-performing partner organizations.

“The philosophy behind Connect is that we win when our partners grow their own services revenue,” said Doug Houghton, Director of Channels at Alkira. “We believe channel partners are evolving from resellers to growth partners, combining resale with high-value services.”
