Data Centre Clients

Since Data-Shield launched in 2004, we have experienced strong growth in our data centre client base, which now includes 250 of the UK’s leading public and private sector data centre organisations. The majority of our clients work with us through our 15 customer facing partners including systems integrators, value added resellers, IT support providers and outsourcers.

In many instances, our technical teams have worked with larger clients while formerly at key equipment vendors for over a decade, gaining detailed knowledge on environments and operational procedures.

Often our clients are unaware that the trusted on-site engineer, remote help desk or consultants work for a “third party”. With our contract specialist support model, Data-Shield prides itself on becoming a trusted resource for our partners and delivering our data centre IT solutions in line with the service levels our clients expect.
