DSS and Hosting 365 have announced a strategic alliance that combines the strength of a leading infrastructure and networking provider with the strength of Ireland’s largest hosting provider.

This strategic alliance has arisen as a result of increasing demands from customers requiring a managed service and infrastructure solution. The alliance recognises the relative strengths of DSS and Hosting 365 in offering customers both infrastructure and internet expertise. Customers now have access to a wide range of tailored solutions based around the internet on a managed infrastructure platform.

“We are currently experiencing an upsurge in the demand for managed services and infrastructure solutions”, stated Stephen McCarron, MD of Hosting365. “Our customers have been hugely impressed with our joint offerings to date. It makes business sense to formalise this arrangement”.

Richard Nolan, MD for DSS welcomed the alliance by stating: “Partnering with Hosting365 enables us to offer an expanded level of services to our customers. While we are the experts in systems integration and management of the IT infrastructure within an organisation, this alliance allows us to now provide the networking and managed service requirements needed to integrate customers across a wider internet community.”
