Utilising its own data centre and network infrastructure, iomart can provide a scaleable and economical solutions for the hosting and managing of complex mission critical applications and services and all delivered with 100% Uptime.


Commenting on the latest company acquisition (Iomart is now planning to take full control of the Easyspace Datacentres, for which it paid 11 million for a 51 percent stake last year. Glasgow-based Iomart will now pay 4.8m for the remainder of the company in two years):

Chief executive Angus MacSween said there had also been a lack of investment in the (data)centres across the UK. "A decade ago there was oversupply in datacentre capacity, but in that time there's been very little new capacity added and now there's a shortage, which has driven up prices significantly."

House brokers, KBC Peel Hunt said the deal was "potentially transformational".
