(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — UK managed hosting provider Attenda (www.attenda.net) announced on Wednesday it has opened its third UK Data Center in Slough, which the company built to meet the increasing client demand.
At the half year point, the company is outperforming the market, maintaining an annual growth rate of more than 20 percent, with over $103 million in contracts. This is well ahead of its planned budget, says Attenda.
“We are seeing the realisation of the analysts forecasts, with enterprises re-evaluating and adopting outsourcing to improve efficiency, reduce costs and provide the required agility to adapt to business change and plan for longer term recovery,” says Mark Fowle, Attenda CEO.
The new data center also accommodates Attenda’s large cloud computing platform Attenda RTI.
The facility has been designed to run completely independent of Attenda’s other two UK data centers, operating as a disaster recovery location for clients with live solutions in the other primary data centers.
It also contains a large virtualization platform that increases the availability, improves efficiency, increases agility and reduces the cost of operating client infrastructures, says the company.
Attenda says it has a long term commitment to ITIL based processes, backed by ISO 20000 certification in IT service management.
Earlier this year, the company was accredited with CarbonNeutral certification, which recognizes that the company has attained a net zero CO2 emissions rating.
