US-based Datapipe has bolstered its presence in the European market with the acquisition of UK managed cloud services provider and Advanced AWS Consulting Partner Adapt for an undisclosed sum.
Datapipe CEO Robb Allen said: "Our similar approach to guiding client's on their cloud journey makes the acquisition a natural fit for us and will increase our scale and service capabilities in the UK and broader European market."
The acquisition bolsters Adapt's pure managed cloud proposition and global reach and gives its customers access to Datapipe's global data centres and cloud, compliance, security, governance, automation and DevOps solutions.
Stewart Smythe, CEO at Adapt, stated: "UK-only consolidations in our space can get messy and be short-sighted. We have chosen a far more exciting path.
"We are seeing emerging customer requirements for a tactical and strategic presence overseas so it makes sense for us to advance the UK's capability in a global market rather than create more bulky domestic organisations. This agreement is about mutually enhancing regional and global capabilities."
The acquisition is part of Datapipe's strategy to gain momentum in the management of multiple cloud platforms, including AWS, Microsoft Azure and its own hosted private cloud Stratosphere.
Last year the company acquired AWS assessment, automation, and migration company DualSpark to simplify the complexity of migrating and optimising apps and infrastructure in public clouds.
