Founded in 2011, the Microsoft Gold Partner and Cloud Solutions Provider has 184 employees and a track record of success in the public sector. Its acquisition will allow Node4 to create a strong Microsoft Centre of Excellence and enhance its ability to help organisations move to secure, cloud-based platforms. Tisski, Node4’s third acquisition under principal investor Providence Equity Partners after those of TNP (The Nav People) and Azure-focused MSP Risual, brings the MSP’s headcount to more than 1,100 and its customer base to more than 2,000 organisations. www.node4.co.uk n Node4 has also announced the expansion of its country-wide Managed Azure Hybrid Cloud solution to meet growing demand from northern businesses. Launched in February this year, the service was initially accessed via Node4’s Northampton data centre. It will now also be available via the MSP’s Leeds data centre in closer proximity to customers in the company’s new UK North region, while providing additional UK-wide capacity and regional diversity to Node4’s infrastructure. Node4’s Managed Azure Hybrid Cloud solution aims to simplify hybrid cloud adoption by bringing Microsoft Azure technologies into the data centre and enabling customers to scale on demand without the long lead times often associated with hybrid infrastructure expansion. It also introduces modern Azure tooling across the entire hybrid environment, including site recovery, backup and update management and, because it’s a managed service, Node4 handles all the Azure infrastructure setup and configuration — and maintains the hardware in its data centres. node4.co.uk/our-services/cloud/ Name switch for Switch My Server Yorkshire-based international IT company Switch My Server has changed its company name to Balliante to better reflect the services it provides to clients. When the business first started, it was primarily a Web Hosting and Server company, but as it has grown its offering has evolved to incorporate a much wider range of services including IT Support, Website Design and Development, CRMs and IT Consultancy, in addition to Hosting and Servers. Managing Directors Craig Boddy and Louis Marcus said: ‘’Although it’s always an anxious and nerve-wracking time for a big change, we are super excited by the new brand and feel the new name is a true reflection of our values and beliefs.” The company’s rebrand follows the opening of an office in Middlesbrough earlier this year to drive expansion in the Northeast. www.balliante.com Integrity 360 and XM Cyber partner up Integrity360 is adding automated mitigation of hybrid cyber risk to its portfolio through a partnership with XM Cyber.

Richard Ford, CTO at Integrity360, said: “With the addition of Attack Path Management, we can enable businesses to continuously view their hybrid networks through the eyes of an attacker, spot attacks before they happen and importantly stop them quickly and efficiently, effectively limiting the blast radius of any potential attack.” www.integrity360.com CAE establishes in-house software lab IT infrastructure solutions provider CAE Technology Services Ltd (CAE) is building on its 30-year heritage in security, networking, data centre, workforce and cloud solutions with the establishment of an in-house software development practice.
