Getronics Services (UK) Ltd

With the ever-increasing costs of power, office space, storage of exponentially increasing amounts of data, complying
with regulatory requirements, whilst balancing the need to keep up with the latest technologies, businesses are

MoneySupermarket and Trader Media, through to bespoke tailored and fully managed private Data Centre suites

for major global financial clients.

Management (ITSCM) - our primary UK Data Centre
is fully resilient, featuring high-density dual power supplies (11KV),
independent tripping, automatic failover to UPS and 6200kVA

time-line. Also test documentation, contact and audit information
are stored on the portal.
