The organisation aims to strengthen its position in Ireland as well as further accelerate its UK expansion.
Viatel Technology Group, an Irish IT and tech company, has announced the acquisition of EDNX, an enterprise networking and digital infrastructure specialist headquartered in Shropshire, UK, for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition aims to blend EDNX’s technical expertise across enterprise networking, network infrastructure, campus networks, secure IoT, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, SD-Access and application-centric infrastructure, with Viatel’s goal to strengthen capability across highly regulated, compliance-intensive environments, such as healthcare, pharmaceuticals, life sciences and manufacturing.
The move is also part of Dublin-headquartered Viatel’s plans for further expansion across the UK market. In July, the company acquired Scottish cybersecurity consultancy FullProxy for an undisclosed amount, as a means of developing its UK presence and cyber capabilities.
Commenting on the EDNX acquisition, Paul Rellis, the CEO, for the Viatel Technology Group, said, “Networks are no longer just infrastructure. They are the foundations for security, resilience and AI adoption. The ability to move data securely, efficiently and at scale will increasingly determine which businesses lead and which fall behind.
“EDNX brings exceptional expertise and a strong track record of delivering enterprise networking solutions in some of the most demanding environments. Their technical capability complements our existing strengths in connectivity, cybersecurity and managed services while creating new opportunities to bring advanced networking services to our customers.”
David Ratcliffe, the CEO of EDNX, added, “Over many years, we have built EDNX around deep technical expertise and a commitment to delivering network infrastructure that supports critical outcomes.
“Joining Viatel gives our customers access to broader capabilities while preserving the technical excellence and customer focus that have defined EDNX. We see strong alignment in our cultures, our ambitions and our long-term commitment to customer success.
“The combination also creates exciting opportunities to bring our specialist enterprise networking, infrastructure, secure IoT, campus network and Cisco capabilities to organisations across Ireland while supporting continued growth throughout the UK market.”
