Record growth for SITS group

Technology experts SITS Group has celebrated a record-breaking first year in business by achieving a year’s sales targets in just five months.

The visualisation specialist has doubled its sales forecast for the year and appointed several new staff, necessitating a move to bigger premises at Newcastle’s Quorum Business Park.

SITS Group specialises in helping businesses rationalise and reduce the size of their server estates, making their IT infrastructure more efficient by implementing virtualisation technology.

Virtualisation works by housing several virtual servers within one physical machine, and allowing the resources of that server to be shared across multiple environments, constantly adjusting the load between them to make the most efficient use of resources.

SITS Group commercial director Phil Cambers said: “We could not be more pleased with the rate at which the company has developed over our first year, especially considering the tough financial conditions.

“We had set ourselves some realistic targets for the first 12 months, so to achieve those targets in the first half of the year and then go on to double our forecasted sales reinforced our view that there was a gap in the market for a true virtualisation specialist in the North East.”

On average, applying virtualisation technology results in the equivalent of ten servers housed on one machine, and slashes the energy and administration costs required to run a large suite of servers.

Mr Cambers said: “As we go into our second year we have ambitious plans to achieve even better results. We already have plans in place to roll out our business model into the North West and Yorkshire, where the market is ripe for embracing the many benefits of virtualisation.”
