Private networks and Partner POPs
Partner POPs
The partner flow separates public caching from customer storage and mail.
#Overview
The partner flow separates public caching from customer storage and mail.
#From application to activation
The Partner POP form collects organization, location, and capacity data for review. After approval, a limited-use enrollment token associates the candidate node.
Certification, activation, drain, suspension, and retirement describe customer-visible availability. A public partner POP serves routing and cache; it does not automatically host customer file storage or mail.
#Prepare an application
Describe location, network, and operational contact accurately.
Submit and answer requests for information.
Use the enrollment token only on the intended machine.
Wait for certification and activation before announcing availability.
