Cloud Services from an

infrastructure provider
you can trust
Welcome
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.
When it comes to
cloud infrastructure,
our credentials are
anything but fluffy.

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.
