Flexible Outsourcing

The Bunker’s outsourcing proposition is built around Data Centre applications management, all service wrapped in security, bespoke management and monitoring routines and backed by stringent SLA’s. We even take over Desk Top support.

Our service is aimed at small to mid size organisations whose IT infrastructure has outgrown current resources. We recognise that all requirements will differ and therefore our service is bespoke. For more information on any of our services please email one of our Managed Services Advisors. Alternatively for more information on The Bunker’s Infrastructure Outsourcing Service click here.

For convenience we have included below some information on the why’s and wherefores of Data Centre outsourcing.

Why outsource your Data Centre ?

Gartner estimates that construction costs for the average Data Centre amount to $465 per square foot and can take up to 12 months to build. This means constructing an adequate Data Centre would most likely cost you millions of dollars, not to mention the time and personnel to evaluate vendors, site location, building criteria, environmental systems, hardware and software. And, this estimate does not include capital investments in data processing or sourcing servers, communication equipment and other IT hardware. The Bunker has already done all of the legwork for you.

Transferring your Data Centre to The Bunker outsourced environment will not only save you money, it will lower your total technology costs by freeing up your IT staff to concentrate on running your business. And, by putting your technology in the hands of a capable, experienced provider, you can be sure that every factor has been considered to make sure your applications, data and equipment are in a stable, secure environment. We will help you make a smooth transition to your new Data Centre by project managing and implementing the entire migration quickly and within your budget.

The benefits of Data Centre outsourcing Infrastructure Cost Savings:

Take advantage of our secure facility without taking on the financial burden of developing, designing, remodelling, building and maintaining your own facility.

Time Savings:

A tremendous investment of time and resources is required to locate suitable data housing facilities for e-mail, Web site, network and applications servers, as well as other telecom equipment. By outsourcing your Data Centre to The Bunker, your staff can focus on initiatives that will generate revenue.

Lower Maintenance Costs:

Maintaining a secure server facility is expensive. Facilities need stable power, emergency back-up systems, controlled access, and carefully monitored climates. These requirements can quickly expend your time and financial resources. The Bunker provides an effective and secure environment that meets stringent business requirements, at a fraction of the cost of an in-house Data Centre.

Reduce Operational Expenses:

By outsourcing your Data Centre to The Bunker, your business can take advantage of a professional staff that is highly skilled in running and managing a Data Centre. Additionally, your access to specialist expertise is increased, without taxing internal resources. Your team members can spend their time innovating and developing new ways to improve your IT systems, rather than simply keeping things running.

Improve Security without Increasing Costs:

The importance of protecting your information and equipment against disaster and outside influences is a critical priority, but is also expensive to manage and maintain. Our guarded Data Centre facilities provides multiple redundant state-of-the-art security features including :

5 meter high perimeter fencing
Digital closed circuit television (CCTV)
Secured card access
High-security, tamper-proof cabinets with specially keyed locks
No unescorted access to data floors
24-hour, on-site security and technical staff
Guard dogs
Multiple Carrier Access:

Accessing a variety of carriers and service providers results in reduced costs and increased network reliability. Most carrier-affiliated Data Centres (where only one carrier’s bandwidth is available) force customers to pay for bandwidth that is not needed. The Bunker is served by a broad variety of carriers, providing competitive pricing for your Internet transport or transit needs. These include:

PacketExhange
Claranet
Cogent
Colt
Easynet
NTL

In addition, The Bunker run a 24/7/365 networks team who manage our own resilient, redundant, multi-homed gigabit network which is MPLS enabled.
