Logicalis acquires CSF

Integrator continues along the acquisition path and buys London-based reseller for undisclosed amount

Integrator Logicalis UK has continued its acquisition footprint and snapped-up London-based reseller CSF Solutions.

The acquisition is Logicalis's fifth European deal in 24 months and aims to boost its managed services capabilities.

As part of the agreement, Logicalis has also agreed terms to acquire CSF's managed services data centre located in Bracknell.

Ian Cook, chief executive for European Operations at Logicalis, said: "The acquisition of CSF further strengthens Logicalis' UK operations. It enables us to take another step forward in building a business that offers enhanced enterprise computing as well as integrated networking, storage and communications solutions.

"In particular, gaining a 10,000 square foot state-of-the-art tier 3 data centre will mean that we will have one of the highest quality, robust and secure facilities in the UK. This will significantly enhance Logicalis UK's flexible managed service capabilities, a key focus for our growth," he said.

"We intend to use the data centre to fulfil the pent up demand from our customers for comprehensive, resilient ICT services that will support their businesses. In particular, we will provide on-demand infrastructure and resources such as hosted applications to capitalise on the opportunities created by the growth of e-commerce," added Cook.
