BMIT, the Malta-based data centre services provider, is to invest heavily in a cloud platform to enable fresh infrastructure and software service solutions to its customers.

The first direct investment in a cloud infrastructure in Malta, it follows the launch of an initial suite of cloud services earlier this year, as a result of which a number of local and international clients are subscribed to the range of virtualisation and storage services which BMIT can offer from the island.

Christian Sammut, CEO at BMIT, said: "A considerable number of customers are showing interest in our current range of cloud services since we provide the benefits of the cloud but complement it with a suite of managed services as well as with focused and personalised attention which cannot be achieved if an offshore location is opted for."
