The iomart group
Since 2013, Backup Technology has been a member of the iomart Group plc of companies. Originally founded in 1998 as an integrated internet and telecommunications company, iomart Group has evolved to become one of Europe’s largest providers of cloud computing services, serving in excess of 300,000 customers each day, through several distinct market leading brands. Since its inception the Group has innovated and set the UK’s digital technology agenda.

The company holds a unique position within the UK cloud computing marketplace in that it owns and operates the fibre network and data centre infrastructure to support its customer’s services. Headquartered in Glasgow, Scotland, the company has data centres and offices in London, Leicester, Nottingham, Manchester, Maidenhead, Gosport and St Asaph in North Wales, giving it nationwide coverage. The company also has an international presence in North America, Europe, Middle East and Singapore.
The company was floated on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in 2000, and has since evolved, through a combination of organic growth and acquisition, to become one of Europe’s leading cloud companies.
“We were impressed with the testimonials we had heard about Backup Technology and arranged a trial in one part of the business to back up the file and mail servers. Less than 24 hours into the trial, the file server failed – fortunately we had the Backup Technology system in place, and we were able to fully restore all data quickly and in its entirety with no problems whatsoever – truly a baptism of fire! Needless to say, we decided to roll out to the other offices too, which was done in a matter of days.”
