The Data Centre Solutions (DCS) Awards ceremony, one of the industry’s premier annual celebrations of data centre accomplishments, took place virtually on Thursday 10th December, with winners revealed on social media.
Node4 was one of five shortlisted candidates. With winners decided by public vote, Node4 relied on the support of its customers, partners, vendors and other contacts to achieve first place.
“Winning the DCS Data Centre Hosting/Colo Supplier of the Year Award is wonderful recognition of the hard work we put into running Node4’s three data centres,” says Liam Taylor, National Data Centre Manager. “I’m proud of the data centre team and the level of service we achieve, supporting both our colocation and internal Node4 departments.
“Whilst we have grown considerably over the years, we still manage to maintain great customer focus and the personal touch that our customers value.
“Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us, it is truly appreciated.”
“We’ve also been onsite throughout the Covid pandemic helping to keep our visiting customers safe, while supporting our critical infrastructure and systems,” adds Rik Williams, Head of Data Centre Operations
