Pulsant, a leading hybrid cloud specialist, have acquired a Reading-based data centre.

The deal with Amito sees Pulsant secure a 15,000 sq ft - 800 rack data centre in Reading enabling them to provide 2.9MW of IT load capacity.

The Reading facility joins Pulsant’s UK network of edge data centres. These deliver secure, scalable and resilient cloud, colocation and networking services.

The Reading move further strengthens Pulsant’s presence in the South East of England, adding to existing data centre sites in Croydon, Maidenhead and Milton Keynes.

Rob Coupland, Chief Executive Officer at Pulsant, says: “The South East is a strategically important location for our clients and will continue to drive much of the UK’s economic activity.

"With Amito’s well established presence, we can continue to build the UK’s edge computing platform and bolster our scale and capacity in the region, this will become increasingly important as businesses embrace edge computing and demand increases.”
