EMBARGO 15th June, 2020: 09:00 BST – St.Albans, United Kingdom; Renowned French Cloud, storage, computing and AI solution providers Actualis, has today formally rebranded to become part of the Boston Group of companies to be known as Boston SARL.
Boston SARL, based in Sophia Antipolis, France (06), paves the way for further development in French-speaking countries and brings with it the opportunity to utilise the collective technical, sales and marketing strengths of the group, whilst capitalising on the reputation, vendor connections and customer relationships that Actualis has built in its 20 years of business.
Actualis is an authority in teleworking and desktop virtualization solutions, with long-standing customers in the Tier 1 telecommunications industry, throughout French-speaking Europe and African countries.
Boston Limited, based North of London in St. Albans (UK), has been one of the largest Supermicro distributors since 1992 with a global presence and a turnover of over 100M€; Boston LTD has been the main shareholder of Actualis since 2009.
The announcement today sees the Boston brand grow within new territories following the announcement in November 2019 that the French group 2CRSi, listed on the Paris Stock Exchange, acquired Boston Limited and its subsidiaries. This announcement marked the birth of a world-class group in the distribution of server solutions.
The joining together of 2CRSi and the Boston Group unites 352 employees and offers a range of innovative and complementary infrastructure, solutions and services, from the Edge to the Datacentre. These new synergies will allow the historical customers of Actualis to benefit from the combined group wealth of expertise in x86 solutions and OCP architectures and leverage enviable industry connections.
“It is my pleasure to formally recognise Actualis as Boston SARL and welcome them to the Boston brand!” says Manoj Nayee, Managing Director of Boston Limited.
