New cloud partnership announced for Elland's Vapour Cloud with £30m business

Castleford-headquartered Target Components Ltd has announced a new partnership with fellow Yorkshire brand Vapour Cloud, as the company gears up for further growth.

For over 20 years, the £30m turnover business - that is a Microsoft, Hewlett Packard, Fujitsu and Lenovo partner - has supplied hardware and software to resellers.

The company will now provide new cloud services through its enterprise division Servers Plus, to strengthen the company’s portfolio.

Servers Plus commercial director, Jago Packer, said: “There are significant advantages associated with the cloud, especially around security and disaster recovery.

“However, we feel the real beauty is the flexibility it offers our customers - the ability to scale up or down as required and pay for what you need, when you need it.

“As a fully managed service, cloud can take the headache out of IT infrastructure. It was essential to us that we partnered with someone with the best possible cloud network, and after an extensive review we’re delighted to have selected Vapour Cloud.”

Vapour’s CEO, Tim Mercer, added: “We’re delighted to partner with Target and Servers Plus. They have an extensive customer base of over 2,000 IT resellers, a reputation in the channel that is second to none, and crucially - like us - they are an extremely customer-focused business.”
