(PRWEB) March 25, 2007 -- IXEurope, Europe's specialist datacentre company, walked away from last night's Data Centre Europe Awards 2007 as winners of the Best Datacentre in Europe and Best Disaster Recovery Service Provider categories at the ceremony held in the Millennium Hotel London Mayfair.

BroadGroup, the event researchers and organisers, were overwhelmed by the volume of nominations in the first datacentre awards programme, which is completely determined by voting from the industry.

"Being recognised by the industry in these two important categories is an impressive achievement and we highly commend IXEurope for the positive impact it has had in this growing sector," said Nicola Hayes, Vice President, BroadGroup. "Although this is the first and only industry awards programme, the quality and quantity of entries we have received reflects the success of the initiative and the interest in the datacentre sector. We wish to offer our congratulations to IXEurope and applaud their outstanding work."

The objective of the awards has been to provide a platform to raise awareness of the importance of the sector in Europe, to facilitate an independent reference point for excellence and to support winning companies in their marketing and communications initiatives. The underlying value of the awards is to recognise leadership, innovation and value creation in the data centre and managed services sector.

Guy Willner, IXEurope's Chief Executive Officer, comments: "This is a tremendous accolade and it is great to see the company's work rewarded in this way. The team has shown huge commitment to providing our customers with a high level of service tailored to specific and evolving needs. We have succeeded through a steadfast belief in our potential, the ability to be flexible and adapt to market conditions, and of course the support from our investors. We are delighted that our dedication has paid off."

Guy also represented the datacentre industry on the Peering Panel at the conference earlier in the day, where he discussed "The Future of Peering - Is it the new growth driver and what is the fit with Datacentres?"
