Scottish cloud hosting and data centre provider Brightsolid has become the only Scottish company to win an award innovation from its technology provider.
The firm, owned by Dundee-based DC Thomson, received the Data Centre Excellence award from Rittal. Each year the data centre technology firm presents the award to the customer who has shown the greatest innovation in the design and running of a data centre and this year they decided this was Brightsolid.
Anthony Morgan, Account Manager at Rittal, said: “This award has been very well earned by Brightsolid. Its approach to building and running a data centre is hugely innovative and it has used technology in a way that is extremely beneficial to its customers.”
Richard Higgs, chief executive of Brightsolid, said: “We’re extremely proud to be the only Scottish company to be awarded the Data Centre Excellence prize by Rittal. We work incredibly hard to ensure that our facilities are accredited to the highest standards by all leading industry bodies like the Uptime Institute and Certification Europe.”
He added: “Our primary mission is to ensure that IT is deflationary for the rest of the decade and to do this we continually review our technology, its application and performance. This approach enables our customers, of all sizes, to live and work digitally whilst reducing the cost of service and increasing the value gained from technology.”
