Microsoft is expected to increase its UK prices by as much as 22% in January due to the recent decline of the pound. Its Azure platform is incredibly popular with businesses, but this price increase means that firms may struggle to keep their data with Microsoft and, if they follow suit, Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud.
So, what does the future hold for the data storage industry? As the triggering of article 50 looms nearer, businesses may seek less expensive ways to store their data. Companies may understandably begin to look for scalable storage methods that allow them to stay in control of their data in an uncertain business landscape.
Colocation is a cheaper solution that combines fast connectivity with peace of mind. It allows businesses to take advantage of scalable, state-of-the-art infrastructure which is managed 24 x 7 by a dedicated team, leaveing the business to focus on their own objectives.
We understand that this is what organisations need in periods of change, which is why we provide flexible and reliable colocation solutions. We offer dual site options as well as a choice of colocation at our London or Manchester sites, along with a wealth of security solutions to keep your data safe.
