Manchester tech firm

Hosting provider UKFast enjoyed another
year of strong growth in 2016, with
acceleration in the cloud market and
high client retention rates driving a
£5.7m increase in sales to £40 million.
Annual sales of the firm’s expanding
eCloud range of cloud solutions increased
by 40% to more than £14 million.
UKFast has doubled turnover over the
last four years, achieving a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.9%.
Later this year, UK Fast is expanding
into a second 40,000 sq. ft. building
adjacent to its current campus in
Manchester Science Park.
UKFast CEO Lawrence Jones MBE said:
“In October we get the keys to our new
building, which is just as well as we’ve
tripled our team in the last three years and
we’re bursting at the seams.”
In partnership with educational provider
The Dean Trust, the fast growing company
is also opening a new high school in
Manchester, focusing on digital literacy.
Easy expenses management
Fujitsu and Expensify are working together to streamline
expenses management for small businesses, branch
offices, remote workers and entrepeneurs.
The combination of Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners and
Expensify receipts and expenses management software
presents an easy and automated way to send receipts from a
ScanSnap directly to Expensify via the ScanSnap Cloud service.
The free ScanSnap Cloud enables users of ScanSnap
iX100 and iX500 wireless scanners to transmit scanned data
directly to their favourite cloud service, with no computer or
mobile device required.
Buffalo ups the speed
New from Buffalo EU, a provider of network attached storage (NAS), USB storage and
networking solutions, the TeraStation 5210DF is a 2-bay NAS populated with solid-state
drives (SSD) and a built-in 10GbE-port. High-speed data transfer at speeds of more
than 550MB/s makes this the ideal external storage device for
demanding tasks such as high-definition video editing and daily
server backups. The higher shock and vibration resistance
of SSDs mean that it is suitable for use in vehicles and on
construction sites. The launch of the 5210DF coincides
with Buffalo’s latest TeraStation NAS firmware
update, featuring VMware integration and the
ability to back up to non-Buffalo devices. The
512GB version is available from £759 inc VAT
and the 2TB one from £1,479 inc VAT.
New MD for Secarma
Cyber security consultancy and ethical
hacking specialist Secarma has
announced the appointment of Paul
Harris to the role of managing director.
Secarma is owned by UKFast CEO
Lawrence Jones MBE, with whom Harris
worked when he was UKFast marketing
director from 2009 to 2012.
Since then he has been UK marketing
director at global enterprise software
company Sage and co-founder of SaaS HR
service provider BrightHR.
More choice from Spitfire
Spitfire, the Internet telephony service
provider and ISP, has added TalkTalk
Business Ethernet to its supplier portfolio,
alongside existing Ethernet services
from BT Wholesale, Colt and Virgin
Media Business. Demand for high-speed
Ethernet connectivity is being driven by the
migration of applications and data storage
to the cloud with cloud-based services like
Google Apps, AWS and Microsoft Azure.
