Objectives

EQSN focuses exclusively on co-location, hosting, bandwidth supply and the managed service provision surrounding it. We provide the services required to maintain, support and manage computer systems reliant on connection to the Internet.

Historically the roots of the company are as an Internet pioneer from the early nineties, delivering Internet and connectivity solutions to business. Involved in the provision of quality service and meeting service level agreements we have a technical team of top quality. Whilst founded in 2000 we are company born out of experience in network management, customer service management and IT facilities management.

The company is proud to stress that our focus is in co-location, hosting, bandwidth supply and managed services. We do not get involved in web development, application development or other non-core activities. Customers can be confident that we do not breach their areas of delivery.

EQSN will look after the infrastructure and technological aspects of your business thereby releasing you to focus on core business and maximise your business potential.

Our business is that of infrastructure - the power, security, connectivity and environmental conditions that provide the right circumstances for your systems.

Objectives

EQSN's key objective is to become the UK's leading Independent Specialist Co-Location and Hosting provider.
All of our efforts are focused on achieving this. We do not plan to, and will never divert from this goal. We will not diversify into areas which take us out of this specialism.
