Pasporte Expands Operations in Managed Data Centres

Pasporte, the provider of managed ICT outsourcing to the mid-market, today announces it is expanding its UK operations to support growing demand for managed services.

Having brought its third data centre on line earlier this month, the managed services provider is undergoing rapid expansion following an increase in companies seeking data centre facilities. All three of Pasporte’s data centres are operated in association with Orange Business Services.

Gary Woodward, CEO of Pasporte, comments; “Companies are under increasing pressure to support exponential growth in data handling and the subsequent storage of data, and the adoption of bandwidth-heavy applications which require 24/7 support and disaster recovery. Furthermore, the energy demands placed on organisations to support their data centre requirements means businesses are looking for ways to spread the cost of bills – shared managed services are an excellent way to share the load.”

Pasporte also announces today that it has been awarded, for the third consecutive year, Orange Business Services’ Partner of the Year 2007. The 7 year partnership demonstrates how collaboration between technology companies can deliver bespoke, best-of-breed service excellence to the mid-market, enable customers to achieve business agility and ultimately, increase profit margins through intelligent IT solutions.

Andrew McFadzen, General Manager, UK & Ireland at Orange Business Services comments, “We are pleased to announce Pasporte as UK Partner of the Year once again. Pasporte’s continued success stands as testament to its unrivalled understanding of the mid-market opportunity, leveraging brand strength and in turn, increasing revenue.

“Pasporte’s dependability in the mid-market continues to help us grow. Their skills and technical expertise within the mid-market ensures our customers receive a high level of service,“ continued McFadzen.

Woodward concludes, “We are delighted to win this award, and have enjoyed a successful year, demonstrated by our ongoing expansion. The support and expertise Pasporte and Orange Business Services brings to the partnership means our customers can exploit enterprise-class services with local, hands-on knowledge and technical support.

“Looking to the future, new and existing customers can be assured of ongoing investment and our promise to deliver the assets and IT infrastructure required to support their businesses.”
