Xploite wins £2.7m contract to supply state-of-the-art data centre
23 April 2008
IT services group Xploite has picked up a £2.7 million contract through its Anix business to supply IBM technology as part of a £30 million roll out of a new data storage facility in Southampton.
As part of the agreement, Xploite will supply the centre with innovative 'pod' storage technology from IBM. Each pod is a self-contained data centre with up to 40 racks. The overall facility has the capacity for 1,800 racks and will be built out on an as-required basis. It is estimated by the company to be complete within three years.
Ian Smith, Xploite's chief executive, commented: "This is an ideal arrangement for Xploite. Whilst the centre will be able to leverage our Tier 1 relationship with IBM, Anix gains direct access to the development's state-of-the-art facilities. The managed services arm of Anix is expected to grow 40% organically this year, and this contract ensures we'll be able to meet our customers' growing needs with ease."
