Pulsant and Nine23 sign strategic partnership deal

Pulsant, the most geographically diverse digital infrastructure provider in the UK, today announced a strategic partnership with UK Sovereign, High-Assurance Managed Service Provider, Nine23.

Pulsant’s sovereign infrastructure, with fourteen data centres across the UK, connected by a robust, private network, is the ideal platform from which Nine23 can deliver high assurance, resilient, and fully UK sovereign, operationally critical services to the HM Government, Law Enforcement, Defence, and their highly regulated supply chains.

The partnership will enable Nine23 to deliver a set of solutions on a fully UK sovereign, resilient, accredited, compliant stack, spanning the physical data centre and infrastructure, all the way to service delivery.

“Enablement is at the heart of everything we do. Nine23 passionately believes that cyber security and resilience must be business-enabling, not a constraint. Our value lies in empowering cyber resilience across highly regulated UK markets, for which we design, build, and manage systems that are Secure by Design and fully compliant with regulatory requirements for mission-critical operations. Our partnership with Pulsant ensures the sovereignty, resilience and assurance of the physical hosting and network connectivity our services rely on.” said Steve Jewell, Chief Revenue Officer at Nine23. “The secure collation, transit, storage and processing of data are vital to our business. We chose Pulsant because it is UK managed and operated and can assure full sovereignty throughout these processes.”

“We have also found Pulsant to be incredibly collaborative. We are currently working together on a range of initiatives that span accreditation, client retention and the development of regional sovereign networks. This partnership will drive substantial commercial opportunity in the coming months.”

Wendy Shearer, Director of Partners and Ecosystems for Pulsant, added: “This partnership is a key milestone in our progress. Nine23 is a fantastic addition to our diverse Partner Ecosystem, bringing unparalleled expertise in the high assurance space.  I’m confident that their products and solutions will be of value not just to its clients in the defence, UK governed and regulated markets, but to other partners in our ecosystem.  We see huge growth in demand for sovereign infrastructure, and this partnership means that Nine23 can leverage our investment in secure UK platforms to accelerate their growth.”
