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 state-
of-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 datatobettertailortheirproduct.
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 www.fxonestopshop.com
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.
