SFW Ltd partners with The Bunker to provide dedicated dual-site hosting services
The Bunker Secure Hosting Ltd, provider of Ultra* Secure Data Centres and Managed Services, has announced that SFW Ltd has chosen The Bunker as its data centre partner of choice for its dedicated, dual-site hosting requirements.
Within the partnership, The Bunker supplies the physical hosting and communications facilities which form part of SFW’s managed service offerings for its public and private sector clients. This will assist SFW in the successful delivery of applications to public sector bodies, offering highly secure solutions in an extremely robust environment.
SFW is responsible for the application management and on-going development of a number of key, business-critical applications within the European Union greenhouse gas Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS). This includes, in collaboration with CDC Climat, the development of ‘ETSWAP’ – a unified system for monitoring, reporting and verification for the Environment Agency facilitating the inclusion of Aviation into the EU ETS in 2012.
Speaking about the partnership with The Bunker, Peter Hornsby, Director at SFW, said, “Over 80% of SFW’s clients are UK and EU public sector organisations with extremely stringent security requirements, so being able to offer secure infrastructure and hosting is vital to SFW’s business. The Bunker fulfils all of these security requirements and combines this with the suitability of data centre locations and the technical skills that enable SFW to offer clients a premium and secure service.”
Simon Neal, Chief Operating Officer at The Bunker, said, “The Bunker is delighted to be chosen by SFW as its data centre partner. I feel that there is a true synergy between our organisations – both of which are successful and forward thinking, and pride themselves on their green credentials. The Bunker looks forward to working in partnership with SFW for many years to come.”
