News: DRBSY moves to Manvers as it enters the Digital Region
Digital Region Broadband Ltd (DRBSY Ltd), a newly-established Managed Service Provider (MSP), has secured 46,000 sq ft of colocation at the South Yorkshire data centre in Rotherham as it signs up to be a provider for the £90m Digital Region.
DRBSY Ltd's managed services range from super-fast internet access to voice and video, through to managed application hosting. The move to Manvers gives them the largest colocation and managed hosting footprint in South Yorkshire.
DRBSY Ltd will be the first UK ISP to offer IPv6-enabled next generation services to the South Yorkshire Digital Region and organisations that locate themselves in the South Yorkshire data centre.
The Digital Region project will bring continuous 25mb+ broadband to over 97% of South Yorkshire, including 550,000 homes and 1.3 million people. The project is financed by European, regional, local and private investment of over £90 million, including £30 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
George Taylor, the founder of DRBSY Ltd, said "We're great advocates of DRL's mission to provide a vehicle for South Yorkshire's economic regeneration and are aligning our new organisation entirely with their objectives.
"With 46,000 square feet of hosting space at Yorkshire's largest data centre, we're looking to host as well as deliver next generation services, and aim to provide vital backup and disaster recovery facilities for the rest of the country via the Digital Region network."
Thales UK, in partnership with DRL, commenced the construction works in 2009 and is scheduled to complete the building of the "fibre-to-the-street cabinet" network to over 1600 locations across the entire region by 2012.
David Holt, CEO, Digital Region Ltd added: "There has been tremendous interest in providing services over the network from South Yorkshire's private sector.
"Businesses like DRBSY are setting up from scratch specifically to capitalise on the opportunities the network offers.
"As the network build continues we will see more and more service providers sign up to develop, trial and roll out services across a range of vertical markets.
"The next few months will be very exciting for us, and for South Yorkshire in general."
