Managed service provider Redcentric has snapped up four companies in the last two years, which it claims have significantly enhanced its public cloud, security, and consultancy offerings.
Redcentric has acquired Piksel Industry Solutions, 7Elements, 4D Data Centres, and Sungard AS data centre and consulting business assets.
The company said that the multiple deals were driven to meet increased customer demand and a requirement for specific and tailored IT solutions. These include cloud consultancy expertise in the public and hyperscale space, cyber security and expanding its physical presence through the data centre estate and UK portfolio from 4D and Sungard.
The acquisitions have added around 650 customers to Redcentric’s growing customer base whilst significantly enhancing its portfolio, all part of a robust growth strategy supporting its customer needs and market requirements.
Redcentric customers can benefit from an estate of eight data centres, which include national sites that are Tier 3-designed, have the latest cooling technology, the highest levels of security and can provide Sovereign cloud services for both private and public sector customers.
Redcentric Chief Operating Officer Cem Ahmet said: “We’re experiencing a period of real growth at Redcentric and the acquisitions we’ve made allow us to provide a vastly enhanced portfolio and expertise, allowing us to give our customers the breadth and depth of services and solutions that they require.”
“By taking ownership of our enterprise-grade data centres and infrastructure, we’re able to deliver on our promises and act as a single point of contact and offer a level of accountability only available with services managed from end-to-end.”
Piksel Industry Solutions was a provider of application, public cloud and security-based digital transformation and managed services. It focuses on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.
Sungard’s data centre business was renowned for its highly resilient data centre estate and assured IT recovery services, with the company hosting and managing mission-critical infrastructure for many blue-chip enterprise customers.
7Elements is a CREST-accredited and award-winning business which provides security testing, incident response management and managed vulnerability scanning across the UK, while 4D Data Centres is a people-focused business offering a suite of award-winning infrastructure solutions.
Ahmet added: “We will continue with ongoing investment in expanding and enhancing our portfolio, infrastructure and capabilities so that we continue to be a trusted, reliable and stable partner for our customers.”
