Daisy opens doors to brand new data centre

Daisy Group plc is opening the doors of a brand new data centre based in North London, following a six month focus on bolstering its hosting capabilities.

The leading hosting and managed services provider has five high security data centres spanning the UK, now equipped with in-house technical specialists, new products and services and new customers, following its recent acquisitions.


Working with Virtus data centres, a leading UK provider of premium carrier-neutral data centre services, Daisy has signed a 15 year agreement for data centre space, in order to host data, cloud and managed services for both existing and new customers.


The impressive new data hall, which is due to be commissioned this month, has been purpose built and showcases the latest in security, power, connectivity and energy efficiency, earning the facility its Tier III and ISO27001 status.


Andrew Goldwater, Managing Director of New Business at Daisy Group plc, says: “We are delighted to announce that we have added a new hosting facility to our already extensive data centre portfolio. The addition of the North London data centre comes at a crucial turning point for hosting services, as we believe 2013 will see a big take up hybrid cloud solutions.


“That’s why we have invested in three new people within our hosting team, further developed our cloud offering, and recently acquired the management of new premises and customers; all in the last six months.”


Warren Barrie, MD at Virtus, comments: “At Virtus we recognise that successful businesses like Daisy rely heavily on the quality of services of their partners and suppliers. We are committed to delivering a scalable infrastructure platform to support Daisy’s expansion across both their cloud and hosting businesses. Both Daisy and Virtus have committed to a long-term partnership set to develop across multiple Virtus data centre sites.”
