One of Wales’ fastest growing IT consultancies, Certus IT, has announced a new partnership with communications experts Virgin Media Business.
Newport headquartered Certus IT has linked up with Virgin Media Business through its Partner Programme, which aims to maximise opportunities for businesses to grow by providing them with the technical and practical support they need to tap into the expanding business data market.
As part of the partnership deal, Certus will be able to use Virgin Media Business’s fibre optic network to offer clients a super-fast connection to their servers at the Certus Data Centre. They will also be able to access sales and marketing support designed to help both businesses grow.
Nigel Griffiths, commercial director at Certus IT, said: “We are delighted to become partners with Virgin Media Business and to be able to offer our clients the benefits of their enhanced connectivity and super fast fibre optic network to access our data centre.
“We launched the data centre in 2011 to meet the increasing demand for cloud computing services. This now accounts for 20% of our business and is continuing to grow, so it is essential that we have the right infrastructure in place and give clients a choice when it comes to accessing their data.”
Jason King, head of business partners at Virgin Media, said: “Certus IT is a fast growing business that is known within the industry for the high levels of service it provides to its clients.
“We are looking forward to working with Certus closely in the coming years and I am sure that we will both benefit greatly from this partnership.”
