Asanti Data Centres Ltd, a leading UK data centre provider, has today announced a strategic partnership with Storm ID, a renowned digital transformation consultancy, to deliver secure, resilient, and cloud-aligned colocation hosting solutions tailored to the needs of public sector organisations. 

This partnership combines Storm ID’s deep expertise in public cloud technologies, data-driven service design, and AI-powered platforms with Asanti’s UK-wide network of sustainable, regional edge data centres. Together, they aim to empower public sector bodies to modernise legacy systems, enhance digital services, and ensure compliance with UK data sovereignty requirements. 

“As our colocation partner, Asanti Data Centres’ UK-wide infrastructure enhances our ability to deliver secure, resilient hybrid hosting solutions to our clients,” said Mike Cashin, Director at Storm ID. “By combining our public cloud expertise with Asanti’s data centre expertise, we can provide public sector organisations with seamless access to modern, cloud-aligned hybrid hosting solutions.” 

Storm ID brings a unique capability to the partnership, having helped transform digital service delivery for the Scottish Government, NHS Scotland, and numerous other public institutions. With core strengths in strategy, design, technology, data and AI, Storm ID provides full lifecycle digital transformation – from ideation and research to cloud-native deployment and intelligent data and AI services 

Asanti’s carrier-neutral facilities provide the perfect foundation for delivering these solutions, offering high-performance colocation, low-latency connectivity, and sustainability as standard. In particular, Asanti’s Livingston data centre is Scotland’s only dual power fed data centre, offering unparalleled resilience. 

“This partnership with Storm ID is a strong alignment of values and vision,” said Stewart Laing, CEO of Asanti Data Centres. “Storm ID’s track record in delivering transformative digital services for the public sector speaks for itself. Coupled with our scalable, resilient infrastructure, we’re excited to help enable a new era of secure, hybrid hosting solutions for public organisations across the UK.” 

The collaboration will focus on enabling digital transformation within regulated and critical sectors, with an emphasis on secure hybrid hosting architectures that blend local colocation with public cloud scalability. By leveraging Asanti’s regional footprint, Storm ID clients will benefit from cost-efficient, compliant, and future-ready IT infrastructure.
