UK Edge data center firm Pulsant has launched a new Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering for managed service providers.

Launched on May 20, Partner Cloud gives 'partners' access to Pulsant's platformEDGE infrastructure, including its compute and connectivity services.

According to Pulsant, in the first phase of 'partner engagement,' Pulsant commits to a 24-hour SLA to create new services, and a subsequent four-hour SLA for any modifications to existing services. At the point a partner is satisfied with the offering, Pulsant transitions the partner to self-service provisioning.

Wendy Shearer, director of partnerships and ecosystems for Pulsant, said: “Managed Service providers have different requirements to end users. They need consistent, competitive pricing for commercial advantage. They need an incredibly rapid response from partners, and they need confidence when building their solutions. This is what we have created with Partner Cloud."

Shearer added that for existing and prospective partners, it is "far easier and quicker to use Pulsant infrastructure rather than investing time, effort, and money into their own platforms."

As of March 2025, Pulsant operated 14 data centers across the UK, having recently acquired two data centers in Birmingham and Fareham.

Earlier this year, Pulsant launched a private cloud offering aimed to help customers meet rising digital sovereignty requirements while remaining cost-effective and compliant with regulations. The Pulsant Private Cloud is hosted in Pulsant's owned and operated data centers in the UK - Croydon LN-1, Newcastle NE-1, and Edinburgh SC-1.

Pulsant was established in 1995 as EdNET and later renamed to Lumison. Pulsant was then formed by Bridgepoint Development Capital in 2011 through the mergers of Lumison, Dedipower, and Bluesquare Data. Oak Hill acquired the company in 2014 for a reported £200 million ($268m).

Pulsant was acquired by Antin Infrastructure Partners in 2021. The company also operates data centers in Rotherham, Milton Keynes, Maidenhead, Manchester, and Reading.
