Logicalis UK has acquired CSF Solutions Ltd, (CSF) a 40 million revenue UK-based enterprise IT solutions provider. CSF has built a strong reputation in enterprise computing, specifically the IBM mainframe market and business critical servers from HP, and maintained a long-standing customer base with a significant number of impressive blue chip enterprises.
As part of the agreement, Logicalis has also agreed terms to acquire CSF Managed Services Plc’ Tier 3 data centre located in Bracknell, Berkshire. CSF will be integrated into Logicalis UK’s operations. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“The acquisition of CSF further strengthens Logicalis’ UK operations,” says Ian Cook, the CEO of European Operations at Logicalis. “It enables us to take another step forward in building a business that offers enhanced enterprise computing as well as integrated networking, storage and communications solutions.”
“The acquisition significantly strengthens our role as a strategic partner for IBM and HP, particularly the IBM System z mainframe and HP – Alpha and Integrity server and storage solutions,” adds Tom Kelly, the UK managing director of Logicalis. “We are now not only the UK’s largest Systems z partner but one of the very few IBM channel partners that can support the entire IBM Systems z-, i-, p5- and x- server solutions range on both sides of the Atlantic.”
