About this network

SOL-AS is Brightsolid, a Scottish cloud and data centre operator based in Dundee and part of the DC Thomson group. The handle preserves its former identity as Scotland Online, one of Scotland's early commercial ISPs.

What it's used for

• Colocation, managed hosting and hybrid cloud out of Brightsolid's Dundee and Aberdeen data centres, plus connectivity for those hosted customers.
• The business today is squarely a hosting and data-sovereignty provider, not the consumer ISP the SOL handle originally stood for.

Notable

• The registry description still reads "commercial internet service provider", a leftover of the Scotland Online era. The inventory and the facilities tell the current story: data centre space, not subscriber access.
• Brightsolid peers at LINX Scotland, keeping Scottish traffic local rather than hauling it to London.
