Internet hosting company UKFast will adopt the ANS name after the two companies agreed to merge last year.
Now known as ANS, the company claims it will become the UK’s largest independent cloud provider, delivering public and private cloud, hosting, security, DevOps, applications and data expertise to its 7,000 customers.
In June last year, ANS sold a majority stake to Inflexion in a move that it saw join forces with current Inflexion portfolio company UKFast.
The merger saw ANS CEO of five years, Paul Shannon, become CEO for the combined firm.
"The milestone represents a huge opportunity, both for our team and our customers,” Shannon said. “By combining the strengths of both businesses under the ANS name, we are creating a world-class digital transformation business, focussed on providing an amazing experience for our customers, team, and tech partners.”
In addition to its name change, ANS said it is focusing on developing its training division to become "one of the largest and most comprehensive digital academies in the country".
"The breadth and scope of cloud, digital and security expertise inside ANS is industry-leading,” he continued. “By bringing together two of the best tech firms in the UK, we are primed to deliver exceptional service to customers, wherever they are in their digital transformation journey."
