DigiPlex opens new colo hall in its Stockholm
data centre
D
igiPlex, a Nordic leader for innovative,
sustainable and secure data centres,
has opened a new server hall in its
Stockholm data centre to meet increasing
customer demand.
The new hall is tailored for customers with
one or more server racks who want their IT
environment housed in one of Sweden’s
most secure and environmentally efficient
data centres.
DigiPlex CEO, Gisle M. Eckhoff, said: “The
companies turning to DigiPlex want the Nordic
region’s most sustainable, energy efficient
and secure colocation. At our data centre
outside Stockholm, we now offer a dedicated
server hall with the same high quality for
customers with smaller storage needs. Data
centres are at the core of all digitalisation
and companies that place their servers with
us can assure their customers and users that
their data centre solution is future proof.”
DataCom is one of several companies that
have chosen the new DigiPlex colo hall.
“DataCom is in an expansive growth phase
due to a large influx of new customers
into our hosting business. To meet the
growing demand from our customers for
communication and hosting services, it
was therefore natural to choose DigiPlex
as our partner to complement our own
data centres,” said Mario Hellqvist, CEO
DataCom AB.

Matt Hancock: Email must replace paper
in the NHS
NHS organisations will be able to use any
secure email provider – not just NHSMail – if
it meets the required security settings. This
is so that NHS organisations can choose
the best service for their needs and email
providers are encouraged to innovate.
The move is part of Matt Hancock’s tech
vision for helping NHS organisations to
introduce innovative technologies for the
benefit of staff and patients.
T
he NHS must stop relying on pen and
paper and should use modern, secure
forms of communication instead, Health
and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock
has said.
Email is as secure and cheaper than
communicating through paper and fax

machines, the Health and Social Care
Secretary said in a speech at an NHS
England conference.
He outlined an ambition for healthcare staff
to email patients directly with information
on appointments to reduce delays, boost
cybersecurity and cut wastage.
Digital services and IT systems will soon
have to meet a clear set of open standards
to ensure they can talk to each other across
organisational boundaries and can be
continuously upgraded.
Any system that does not meet these
standards will be phased out and the
government will look to end contracts with
providers who do not understand these
principles for the healthcare sector.
