Data Centre Services Secure management of business critical data and systems
DATA CE Many businesses house their valuable and sensitive IT infrastructure within expensive and inadequate floor space where it is unprotected, subject to risk and difficult to support, especially out of normal office hours. InTechnology's Data Centre Services provide a high quality off site environment within which to locate core IT applications and include: Secure remote hosting facilities within high specification purpose built 24 x 7 data centres A choice of rack space or dedicated private suites A range of cost effective telecommunications and Internet services to connect equipment to employees and customers Server management, monitoring and managed back up and restore services We saw the benefits of moving our servers offsite (to an InTechnology data centre). We are now gaining the benefits of a resilient network infrastructure, uninterruptible power supplies and high level security without having to make massive investment in our own equipment.. John Gould, IT Director, Charles Russell, a prestigious city of London law firm.
