A Newcastle based data centre is celebrating after financial figures show the company is growing by an average of 20% year on year.

ZebraHosts based on Westgate Road in the centre of what has been dubbed ‘Silicon Alley’, provides server hosting from its state-of-the-art facility. It reports yet another period of significant growth due to increasing demand for its services.

The reported increase has also led to the company appointing Karol Marketing Group to launch its first ever marketing programme to help the company increase its awareness in the North East region, reach new markets and sell its services to an increasingly IT literate North East audience.

"North East companies are becoming far more sophisticated in their web needs." said ZebraHosts Strategic Account Manager Belinda Kent.

"Many are outgrowing their current web facilities. As reliance on server based systems increases many are no longer prepared to battle with slow connectivity, poor levels of uptime, unreliable data storage and weak networking."

"And of course, as their usage increases they become even more aware of the catastrophic repercussions of losing core data. The Marketing programme will help us reach this audience and educate them about the solutions we can provide."

ZebraHosts has noticed a steady growth in enquiries for its external hosting facilities which guarantees 99.99% connectivity even in the event of a major local or regional power cut.

"Our clients value the importance of robust storage technology, and the need for every element of data management to be in line and working reliably," commented Belinda.

Karol Marketing Group's Account Director Michelle Rowntree said, "The marketing possibilities for this client are very exciting. Already we've discovered that several of their major clients actually use the fact they externally host their data with ZebraHosts as a major selling point when marketing their own business. More businesses need to know about the services Zebra offers and we're delighted to be at the forefront of their first marketing campaign."

The team from ZebraHosts will be demonstrating its data centre services and providing advice and guidance to visitors at the forthcoming IT Works event, taking place on 5th – 6th July at Sunderland University.
