Shortlist confirmed for 2015

Angel Business Communications are delighted to be joined by Source Data Centres, for the second year running, as Headline and Cocktail Reception sponsors for the Industry’s premier awards ceremony.

SOURCE (#sourceplc) is the UK Channel’s ‘go-to’, multi award-wining provider of datacentre colocation and network infrastructure. Madeline Bard, co-founder of Source noted “Sponsoring the DCS Awards 2015 allows us the opportunity to recognise the achievements of both our peers and customers alike. We see the DCS Awards 2015 as the Industry’s premier awards ceremony and are pleased to be able to offer all this year’s winners six months free colocation services at any of our facilities. This is in addition to our ‘Free Internet’ services which are available to all and negate the need to procure additional HSIP services when collocating with SOURCE.”

The assessment panel from Angel Business Communications validated all the entries in the 20 categories that have been put forward for online voting. Make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to express your opinion on the companies that you believe deserve recognition in the data centre marketplace.

The winners will be announced at a gala ceremony on 14 May at London’s Radisson Blu Portman Hotel.

All voting takes place on line and voting rules apply.

Voting closes: 23 April
