ManageEngine, the enterprise IT management division of Zoho Corporation, is opening two data centre facilities in London and Manchester – its first data centres in the UK.
The centres, which offer enhanced data security and will carry all the necessary SOC, ISO and PCI DSS certifications, will support UK customers who have a growing need for data sovereignty and data residency.
The new sites will be hosted by Equinix, which was selected by ManageEngine for its data centre platform that is renowned for its expansive reach. The data centres will host a few prominent ManageEngine products, including ServiceDesk Plus Cloud and Endpoint Central Cloud. The long-term plan is to offer ManageEngine’s entire portfolio from the UK data centres.
Rajesh Ganesan, president of ManageEngine, said: “Cloud adoption has been rapid in the UK, far outstripping other markets. We have seen 70 per cent growth in cloud adoption YOY since 2018, versus 50 per cent globally.
“Post-Brexit, we also saw increased demand from customers for data centres to be located in the UK to ensure data sovereignty and comply with local regulations.”
The UK market is the second largest for ManageEngine, representing 25 per cent of its global turnover. There has been an acceleration in cloud adoption amongst UK customers, which in turn has created more demand for local data storage.
Arun Kumar J, regional director of UK at ManageEngine, said: “Organisations are leveraging hybrid cloud computing and edge computing more and more to use the cloud optimally.
“The new centres will benefit customers by helping them meet complex data security demands; our cloud security efforts for these centres will focus on compliance, privacy, data leak prevention and endpoint security. Intelligence at the edge — extended to every endpoint — is essential to securing endpoints against modern attacks.”
Zoho Corporation has a UK base in Milton Keynes.
