6 Why Outsource your DataCenter? In the face of change, companies look for flexible and scalable ways to manage ICT infrastructures, without compromising on security and reliability. Thus, for many, the best solution is outsourcing the need for DataCenter capacity towards colocation partners. Companies can retain the control of their ICT infrastructure while taking advantage of the stateof-the-art technology, scalability, security and availability that third party DataCenters provide. In turn, this gives businesses the scope to focus on their core business operations.

7 7 Scalable capacity helps businesses stay agile By colocating your ICT infrastructures in a third party DataCenter, you can quickly achieve the flexibility, scalability and cost-effectiveness to effectively support your business plans. Maintaining business focus Colocating your equipment in a third party DataCenter means you can focus on core business activities without losing control of your data, systems, processes or skills. Managing risk and regulation Increasing levels of regulation are making significant demands on how companies store and manage their growing volumes of data. Taking advantage of colocation facilities in an advanced DataCenter provides high levels of security, helping you meet changing requirements for compliance and data protection. Reducing costs Growing enterprises must either build new DataCenter space in-house to accommodate greater demands, or support redundant space that allows for growth. Power and cooling demands, as well as connectivity requirements, all contribute to rising operational costs. A third party DataCenter allows you to pay for the space you need and scale only as required. The costs of security and DataCenter technology are shared with your colocation partner, while costs are further reduced by innovations in efficiency, such as advanced power management.

10 Financial Services Sector How we help Financial Sector organizations trade and move quickly to meet their obligations effectively. Helping the Financial Sector Turn Change to Advantage Uncertainty and regulatory changes characterize today s financial sector. Big data is making inroads within Financial Services as investment firms manage their risk real-time and retail banks and insurance firms look to exploit the explosion of digital customer data to better tailor their product. Furthermore, there s regulatory pressure to increase capital and liquidity retention and comply with more stringent requirements for security, data protection and business continuity. Keeping a competitive edge has never been tougher. The combination of these pressures requires you to increase business agility, by creating more cost-effective, flexible and scalable IT infrastructures. Achieving the required scalability in-house would require significant up-front and ongoing investment in non-core activities. Our DataCenter offers a highly secure alternative for you to host your systems and data in a state-of-the-art facility, helping you to respond rapidly to change. In addition, the CONFISIO Managed Services team can provide the products and services required to make this possible. For further information, please visit Banking Changing regulation governing data protection and business continuity, growing demand for high-performance computing resource and the continued drive for cost reduction are putting pressure on the IT infrastructures in the banking sector. Insurance Pervasive political, economic and regulatory change, combined with disruptive technology, is compelling European insurers to re-think DataCenter strategies, and to strive for increased flexibility and lower capital and operating expenditure.
