Internet host UKFast has announced a £32m development programme designed to help UK businesses improve their online solutions and compete more strongly in the global environment.

Project32 includes BASE, a fund for creating a safer Internet environment and innovation capital that has already spawned Ecoservers, environmentally friendly server solutions.

Lawrence Jones, managing director of UKFast, said, "Our primary objective is a network that is secure, robust and resilient against all forms of cyber attack. To ensure this we have forged very close links with Cisco, Red Hat and Microsoft."

Recent polls cite credit card fraud as the main reason for a consumer confidence nosedive and businesses have not made server security a priority. As an ISP, UKFast has developed a 'best of breed' network utilising the latest technology and software so that businesses can have the confidence to trade safely online. But the industry is constantly evolving and UKFast needs to remain ahead.

Ecoservers is now a new division of the hosting company offering dedicated servers that require less power, produce less heat and use ultra efficient unlimited power supplies. Jones is so pleased with the result that he has insisted on paperless invoicing and full recycling of packaging to complement the product.
