Business Serve signs three year £1 million hosting contract

Leapfield House, a large purpose built data-centre in London Docklands, will host the eighty racks of equipment for IP Telecom Solutions. This is the first corporate contract signed by the Group following the acquisition of Leapfield House in December 2004. The Group acquired Leapfield House to provide highly resilient co-location services to corporate customers and to enhance the Group’s operational infrastructure.

Anthony Bennett, IP Telecom Solutions Ltd, Sales Director, said:

"The relocation of our hosting services to Leapfield House will ensure cost savings are made and will provide a highly resilient service which are both of paramount importance to IP Telecom Solutions."

Simon Cleaver, Business Serve, Chief Executive, said:

"The hosting deal with IP Telecom Solutions marks the entry for Business Serve into the high specification co-location marketplace. With Leapfield House, we can now challenge competitors, both in terms of price and level of service.

"Business Serve is delivering in every area and I am confident that we will meet the City’s expectations for the current financial year."
