IO, meanwhile, will benefit from Redstone’s technical expertise and robust client base.

I am very pleased that Redstone has partnered with IO as it enters the EMEA market.”

IO.Anywhere® is the next-generation, software-defined modular data centre infrastructure that can augment existing data centres or serve as the foundation for a greenfield data centre. IO.Anywhere delivers a sustainable and secure data centre environment, on a just-in-time basis – anywhere in the world.

“In preparation for our launch in the UK, IO is developing a strong team, critical partnerships, and a state-of-the-art data centre in Slough,” said Ricky Cooper, Group Leader for EMEA Sales at IO. “Redstone will help IO gain traction in the EMEA market, and together, we will provide a compelling data centre offering in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.”
