Information and communication technology group Datatec last week announced the acquisition of two European businesses by its subsidiary, Logicalis.

The Logicalis group acquired a 70% interest in Cisco systems integrator and managed services company Cilnet, in Portugal, which increases Logicalis’s Cisco technical expertise for the Iberian region and complements the existing Spanish operation with data centre, collaboration, networking, infrastructure and managed services capabilities.

Further, Logicalis Germany acquired Orange Networks, a Microsoft services business focused on Microsoft cloud and managed services that will advance the company’s Microsoft Gold Certified Partner status and its hybrid cloud offering to its existing client base in Europe.

“Both these acquisitions bring additional expertise and experience that will prove valuable,” said Datatec CEO Jens Montanana.

“Cilnet will augment our Cisco offerings across Iberia, increasing our capabilities and expanding our service portfolio. Orange Networks’ Microsoft Azure skills in the cloud space will provide additional expertise and experience both in Germany and other parts of Europe.”

Cilnet, founded in 2000, reports yearly revenues of about €20-million and has over 90 employees, including eight Cisco-certified internetwork experts.

Hamburg-headquartered Orange Networks posts yearly revenues of about €5-million.
