Scottish cloud firm makes big connections

Scottish cloud computing company Iomart is building closer links with Amazon and Microsoft.

The Glasgow-based firm runs its own data centres and is working more closely “in the orbit” of the industry’s larger businesses, providing support as they move to cloud-based operations.

Iomart’s revenue grew by 16% in the year to March to £76.3m. Pre-tax profit rose 21% to £13m, and adjusted profit before tax rose 14% to £19m.

Iomart has won Advanced Partner status with Amazon Web Services, and aims to make that relationship closer.
