Cloud provider PeaSoup has expanded its business to deliver its service from a new, environmentally friendly data centre in Lincoln, following a £108,000 cash injection from HSBC UK.
The money has enabled the business to build on its UK cloud service with an additional data centre in Lincoln that provides a “completely resilient position” to complement the company’s existing London-based services with a minimal ecological impact.
A key element of this expansion has been the partnership with coolDC, which received a European Code of Conduct for Data Centres Energy Efficiency Award (CEEDA) for the design of the Lincoln data centre. It became one of only 19 data centres globally to hold CEEDA Gold status.
“The funding from HSBC UK has had a significant impact on our business, allowing us to open another UK site with state-of-the-art technologies and excellent environmental credentials,” said Martin Bradburn, chief executive officer at PeaSoup Hosting. “We are an ambitious company, constantly striving to drive innovation in our field and with the addition of immersed computing, adding full site resilience will bolster our reputation as we strive for year-on-year our growth.”
