The datacentre company IXEurope was awarded at the Best Datacentre in Europe and Best Disaster Recovery Service Provider categories at the Data Centre Europe Awards 2007. The ceremony took place at the Millennium Hotel London Mayfair.

    The number of nominations at the first datacentre awards programme was overwhelming for the organisers and researchers of the event, namely BroadGroup, especially because these nominations are determined by the votes from the industry.

    Nicola Hayes, Vice President, BroadGroup, stated: "Being recognised by the industry in these two important categories is an impressive achievement and we highly commend IXEurope for the positive impact it has had in this growing sector. Although this is the first and only industry awards programme, the quality and quantity of entries we have received reflects the success of the initiative and the interest in the datacentre sector. We wish to offer our congratulations to IXEurope and applaud their outstanding work."

    Since the sector is so important in Europe, the objective of the awards has been to make people aware of this fact. Also, an independent reference point for excellence had to be facilitated and companies had to be supported in their marketing and communications initiatives. The awards also have as a scope to recognise leadership, innovation and value creation in the data centre and managed services sector.

    Guy Willner, IXEurope's Chief Executive Officer, said: "This is a tremendous accolade and it is great to see the company's work rewarded in this way. The team has shown huge commitment to providing our customers with a high level of service tailored to specific and evolving needs. We have succeeded through a steadfast belief in our potential, the ability to be flexible and adapt to market conditions, and of course the support from our investors. We are delighted that our dedication has paid off."
