The Bunker is chosen as Data Centre partner of choice by CRYPTOCard

18th Sept 2009

The Bunker, provider of Ultra* Secure Data Centres and Managed Services today announces it has been awarded a contract to provide secure data centre colocation to authentication specialists CRYPTOCard.

Having worked alongside The Bunker and having witnessed the high levels of services support and security it was an easy choice for CRYPTOCard to host their data within The Bunker’s ultra secure facility. CRYPTOCard required a provider that could not only offer unparalleled levels of security but were also able to be cost effective in today’s challenging marketplace.

Simon Neal, Director of Data Centre Services at The Bunker commented “We’ve been working closely with CRYPTOCard for some time and I am delighted that we continue to strengthen our relationship with them. CRYPTOCard pride themselves on security hence their need to colocate in a secure environment. With The Bunker’s ex-MOD architecture, combined with our team of technical expert’s on-hand 24/7, we had no difficulty fulfilling their requirements”.
