iomart Offers Greater Range of Cloud Services To UK Government G-Cloud 4

iomart Group plc (AIM:IOM), will be offering an expanded range of cloud and colocation hosting services to the UK public sector after being selected for G-Cloud 4, the fourth iteration of the pre-approved group of Cloud ICT suppliers to the UK Government.

iomart has added its expertise in the bespoke provisioning of private and hybrid cloud solutions to the CloudStore catalogue as well as offering data centre and colocation services. The new services can be found under the sections for Infrastructure As A Service (IaaS); Platform As A Service (PaaS); and Software As A Service (SaaS) for which iomart was accredited earlier this year when it was selected for G Cloud iii.

Angus MacSween, CEO of Iomart Group plc, said: "As cloud becomes the de facto delivery mechanism for IT services, we are finding that public sector organisations are being much more specific about the type of cloud hosting services they are seeking from the G Cloud catalogue. We have expanded our range to reflect the significant expertise we have in these areas.

"In addition, we have also been accredited for data centre and colocation services, ensuring that we can offer prospective public sector clients the opportunity to utilise our nationwide estate of eight data centre locations and pan UK fibre network. This is particularly important as more and more Government organisations are seeking IT outsourcing disaster recovery and off-site storage solutions with trusted suppliers.”

iomart’s existing public sector clients include one of the UK’s biggest housing associations as well as a range of councils and education providers.

iomart specialises in the delivery and management of bespoke mission-critical private and hybrid cloud and managed IT infrastructures as well as providing a cloud services such as storage, backup and security solutions.
