InTechnology drives growth

Managed services specialist completes £3m upgrade of datacentre and reveals plans to open another next year

£3m was spent on upgrading the datacentre

Managed services specialist InTechnology has completed a £3m upgrade of its Harrogate-based datacentre and is planning to open another on the M4 corridor next year.

The firm, which sold its distribution division to Arrow for £41m in 2006 (CRN, 7 December 2006), poured all of its efforts into developing the managed services division, acquiring voice specialist Evoxus last year (CRN, 22 January 2007) and pumping millions of pounds into its organic growth strategy.

Its latest investment saw the complete replacement of all generators, switchgear and UPS systems at the Harrogate centre. It has also added a further 120 cabinets of hosting capacity in the refresh, which was completed this month.

Stefan Haase, marketing director at InTechnology, said: “We are pretty unique in the UK market, operating below the FTSE 100 space, but catering for firms with between 50 and 2,500 users.

“We have invested a lot in our infrastructure and over the past six years have invested about £100m into our managed services business. We plan to continue growing organically.”

Haase said InTechnology intends to open a new datacentre in Reading next year, but the firm has no fixed date in mind.
