Cloud Services from an

you can trustinfrastructure provider

Entrusting some or all of a company’s information assets to the cloud still fills some IT and business leaders with apprehension. Why else would otherwise progressive organisations still cling to their data centres, where keeping everything up and running is a constant preoccupation?

With Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) from SunGard Availability Services, out of sight comes with peace of mind. We’ll work with you to manage demand for compute power and storage more flexibly, efficiently and cost-effectively than ever, enabling your organisation to respond faster to challenges and emerging business opportunities.

Unlike public cloud providers, you won’t be sharing SunGard’s cloud infrastructure with millions of individuals or internet start-ups. It’s completely private, ensuring your mission-critical data and applications are securely isolated, and it complies with the rigorous physical and virtual security standards demanded by today’s business practices.

Now you can give your workforce access to the infrastructure, applications and data they need to fulfil your corporate strategy, and satisfy financial, operational and IT priorities.

Welcome

When it comes to cloud infrastructure, our credentials are anything but fluffy.

2010

The Library of Congress in the US has about 130 million items stored on 530 miles of shelves, including 29 million books, 2.7 million recordings, 12 million photographs, 4.8 million maps and 58 million manuscripts. And all that adds up to 10 terabytes of data.

Throughout 2010, SunGard expects to back up more than 36,000 terabytes of customers’ data. That’s about 18 million miles’ worth of books on shelves.

So when it comes to scale as well as provenance, you can see that SunGard’s size really does matter.

proportionLet’s get a sense of

• Optimised expenditure – turning unwieldy CAPEX into manageable OPEX to preserve vital cash flow within your organisation and reducing exposure to borrowing costs and depreciation

• Increased utilisation and growth – our expertise in large-scale virtualisation enables us to achieve hardware utilisation way above industry norms

• Reduced overheads – eliminate the payroll and overheads associated with staffing your own data centre, including outsource costs such as engineers and 24x7 manned guarding

• Reduced data centre running costs – our vast buying power enables us to secure highly favourable energy tariffs, while you free up valuable building space and save on associated rent and rates

• Accelerated time to value – by eliminating the time lag associated with provisioning, procuring, installing and commissioning your own infrastructure, your business gets access to the compute resource you need faster, to go to market sooner.

for Infrastructure as a Servicevalue case A solid

You’re a multinational with an established IT organisation

You know your ‘aaS’ from your elbow when it comes to virtualisation, so you’re not planning to outsource your entire company’s IT infrastructure, after decades spent building it up. But there’s always some merger or acquisition to be managed, a specialist division of your business with unique security or availability considerations, or perhaps a resource-hungry R&D project that promises to deliver ‘the next big thing’ to your industry.

SunGard enables you to create the perfect IT ‘sandbox’ in the cloud that can be provisioned in double-quick time and delivering dedicated services sooner than you imagined possible, allowing you to capitalise on that emerging opportunity and steal a march on your rivals.

SunGard can help you ramp up your IT provisions to accommodate the rush with greater agility than you could feasibly achieve in-house – averting panic and giving your business the kind of responsiveness that will be the envy of your competitors.

You’re a small company with big ideasYou’ve established your business on a core specialism – and that’s where your attention needs to be focused. Why let your growth or your ambitions be fettered by the day-to-day complexities of managing your own infrastructure? Buying boxes and hiring staff to look after them takes your eye off the ball and ties up vital capital.

With Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) from SunGard, your computing is fully taken care of. And when your day-to-day operational needs indicate you’re ready to expand your cloud service, just let us know and we’ll switch on additional capacity in good time to meet your anticipated demand, with true pay-as-you-grow ease.

You’re a mid-size enterprise for which the sky’s the limit You’ll never grow out of SunGard. That’s because we allow your business activity to dictate your IT, not the other way round. Imagine you’re planning a high profile advertising campaign that’s expected to drive huge volumes of traffic to your website, or external events are about to put unprecedented demands on your contact centre.
