Bhumishq Technologies Ltd joins International Data Centre Group alliance

Dec. 17, 2010 - PRLog -- 17th December 2010, London, UK:  The International Data Centre Group (IDC-G), the first global data centre alliance, announces today that the leading commercial data centre operator in Mauritius, Bhumishq Technologies Ltd, has joined its alliance network.

The Bhumishq Data Centre is strategically located in the Cyber City, Mauritius  and offers IDC-G clients top notch data centre services, being among three data centres in the African region to have been Tier IV certified. The London-based IDC-G alliance network is a unique concept, being the first partnership of data centre operators around the world under a strong, unified brand, providing international businesses with a centralised point-of-contact for their bespoke data centre needs.  The handpicked members of the IDC-G alliance are carrier-neutral and among the preeminent players in their respective national markets.

Announcing the agreement, Guy Willner, IDC-G Executive Chairman, said, “ It is with great pleasure that we announce the latest member of our alliance network. Bhumishq is conveniently placed geographically at a focal point which also provides political stability. IDC-G and Bhumishq share common ground in our commitment to quality data centre services and excellent customer service delivery. And as demand for data storage grows in Africa, in tandem with higher levels of internet penetration, we expect that Mauritius will be a key player and we look forward to working with Bhumishq in tapping this potential market.”

Commenting on the partnership, Vivek Mathur, Vice-President, IT, Bhumishq Group said, “The partnership with IDC-G will help Bhumishq to market its quality data centre services to an even wider international clientele. There is synergy between IDC-G and Bhumishq in our philosophy and outlook on data centre services that we wish to work together to strengthen.”

“There has been a big increase in recent investments in third party data centres in emerging markets. This makes it even harder for data centre providers to increase their profile in the market. The dynamic nature of data centre metrics, and the wide range of global standards and industry accreditations, also makes it difficult for providers to show their credibility. The relationship with IDC-G will help Bhumishq achieve both aims,” remarked Steve Wallage, Managing Director at the international consulting firm, BroadGroup.
