GLASGOW, Scotland, February 27, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

                               What Is My Brand launches in UK

    iomart Hosting, one of the UK's leading providers of cloud computing and managed
hosting services, is providing cloud storage [http://www.iomarthosting.com/cloud-hosting ]
and backup for a new personal branding network that's just launched in the UK.

    What Is My Brand, http://www.whatismybrand.com , is an online network that allows
people to showcase their own unique talents, build a personal brand and express opinions
on the brands they like and use.

    Sunny Arora, founder of What Is My Brand, says: "The most successful companies in the
world all have strong brands - a great brand sells. We believe that this works equally
well for individuals. You only have to look at people like Lady Gaga and David Beckham to
know how successful a personal brand can be. What Is My Brand is all about the brand of
You."

    Mr Arora says he chose iomart Hosting to support What Is My Brand because of its 100%
uptime guarantee, round-the-clock technical support and the multiple resilience afforded
by its network of UK data centres.

    He says: "As well as ticking all our boxes concerning reliability and scalability,
iomart Hosting really understands the start-up environment. We have a dedicated account
manager who, along with a technical services director, has worked closely with us to make
sure we got exactly what we needed to launch our new network."

    What Is My Brand sits on an iomart Hosting VMWare cloud platform which includes cloud
storage and dedicated managed backup to ensure that the network can grow easily as it
attracts more members and advertising support.

    Mr Arora explains: "Having a cloud platform enabled us to avoid heavy set-up costs
whilst offering very attractive on-going operational costs. Secondly, it provides us with
on-demand scalability which means as user numbers rise we can scale up quickly, removing
any time-lag that might be associated with a fixed physical infrastructure. And thirdly,
we only pay for what we use."

    Sarah Haran, managing director of iomart Hosting, says: "It's particularly important
for start-up businesses to avoid large capital outlay at the beginning. Cloud hosting is
both an economical solution and a scalable one which will allow What Is My Brand to react
quickly to growth in its membership."
