Its customer base spans healthcare, education, financial services and other regulated industries, with named reference deployments including Nuffield Health and Queen's University Belfast.

The core product portfolio is organised around eight capabilities: SD-WAN delivered under the proprietary RedSwan brand, Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), multi-carrier Connectivity, Cybersecurity under the proprietary RedSpam brand (12+ years of proactive cybersecurity and DORA-style resilience testing), Cloud Management & Automation, Unified Communications, Network & Infrastructure (including 400G/800G/1.6T data centre networking on Dell platforms), and end-to-end Managed Services.

Pricing is quote-based and bespoke, delivered via multi-year contracts with flexible scaling clauses. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales, co-selling with tier-one technology vendors, and thought-leadership content marketing.

• SCC (Specialist Computer Centres): European IT solutions and services company reselling hardware, software and providing managed services across networking, security, and cloud. Operates in similar verticals (public sector, enterprise) and competes head-to-head on Dell, Cisco, Fortinet-led deployments in the UK and continental Europe.

Very comparable size and target verticals (UK public sector, healthcare, education), directly competing for similar vendor-led deployment contracts.

Comparable IT solutions portfolio spanning networking, security, cloud, and managed services across public and private sectors. Stronger pan-European delivery footprint than Ampito.
