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
increasingly looking for alternative, more cost-effective ways to manage and future-proof their IT infrastructure.
Our Data Centres offer a wide range of services from 'off the shelf' co-location for a variety of clients, such as
MoneySupermarket and Trader Media, through to bespoke tailored and fully managed private Data Centre suites

for major global financial clients.

. Disaster Recovery (DR) / IT Service Continuity
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
capability generator back-up, together with diverse routing into the
Data Centre building. In addition, high speed network connectivity
provides capability to support DR across multiple Data Centre sites
both on-shore and off-shore.

Centre provides a combination of managed server recovery, work

are hosted via a customer portal, used as a central repository
for processes followed during invocation and an expected recovery
time-line. Also test documentation, contact and audit information
are stored on the portal.
