Launch of Pulsant Creates Powerful New IT & Hosting Partner for the UK Mid-Market
READING, England, March 8, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Market leading capability, nationwide network of datacentres and 'personal
touch' will drive success
Today sees the launch of Pulsant, a powerful and leading supplier of Cloud and Managed
Hosting services to the UK mid-market. Formed by the combination and integration of
Lumison, DediPower and Bluesquare Data, Pulsant is a GBP30 million turnover company which
is poised for rapid growth fuelled by a GBP6 million 2012 investment plan that includes
new staff, additional facilities and services as well as targeted sales initiatives.
Offering market leading capabilities, utilising eight enterprise-class UK data centres
in five locations, as well as points of presence in New York, Amsterdam and Hong Kong,
Pulsant already provides 24/7 support to over 3,000 customers. Its services include
Colocation, Managed Hosting, Managed Applications, Managed Networking and Cloud.
Backed by Bridgepoint Development Capital, Pulsant is eager to expand its profile
within the UK's mid-market sector, where personal service backed by proven capability is
sought by increasingly IT-reliant businesses.
Pulsant CEO, Mark Howling, comments: "In Pulsant we have brought together three highly
successful IT service companies under an extremely effective management team, backed by
outstanding solutions architects and experienced support staff. This, combined with our
nationwide network of efficient, enterprise-class data centres, allows Pulsant to deliver
highly configurable IT and hosting solutions, with an emphasis on personal, consistent and
professional service."
Howling adds: "As Pulsant we represent one of the UK's largest 'independent' hosting
and colocation providers. We are focused on servicing the needs of companies with a high
reliance on data, the internet or Cloud, who may have dispersed workforces or simply want
to free their IT resources from managing infrastructure. Our mission is to provide them
with the best quality solutions and services backed by support with passion. As companies
respond to the challenges of an increasingly mobile, web-based world, Pulsant helps them
be more efficient, effective and profitable in how they connect, manage and store their
data."
Pulsant has customers from a wide range of sectors, but has particular focus on those
involved in eCommerce, digital design, eLearning, professional services, cloud computing
and IT application development. They will be among the first to benefit from the company's
new combined capabilities, expanded solutions portfolio and on-going investment plans.
"We will continue to work closely with partners, such as Microsoft and HP, to deliver
'best in class' solutions," confirms Howling. "At the same time, we are enhancing our data
facilities in Scotland and England with even faster inter-site connections and new energy
saving technologies, including cold aisle containment. In addition, we will also source
100 per cent of our energy from renewable sources by October. A major focus this year will
be the expansion of our facilities in south London to create a dedicated hosting and
colocation 'campus' - ideal for businesses looking to move their data storage from
expensive central London facilities where space is at a premium."
