SunGard Availability Services has launched a private cloud service. SunGard-as-a-Service, a fully managed private cloud service for UK customers consists of five components: connectivity; security; load balancing; computing power; and managed tiered storage. Each of these components is scalable within an overall solution, giving users the flexibility to adapt their private cloud to their specific requirements.

SunGard Availability Services also announced that its enterprise-class infrastructure will be used by SunGard Financial Systems to provide a secure, reliable platform for its Software-as-a-Service offerings for its customers in the finance sector.

Delivered on a shared infrastructure operating across its network of resilient UK technology centres, SunGard-as-a-Service offers a fully managed enterprise IT infrastructure solution which places an emphasis on resilience and security.

Keith Tilley, managing director UK and executive vice president Europe for SunGard Availability Services, said: "We can help our customers put the right cloud strategy in place, selecting which applications should be put into the cloud and which should remain in-house, and then provide them with a robust and secure managed IT infrastructure."

"Cloud computing should offer solutions to every organisation. The model offers manifold benefits -- zero capital expenditure and high flexibility among them -- yet CIOs continue to voice concerns over the levels of resilience, data protection and security the cloud can offer. The private cloud technology underpinning SunGard-as-a-Service addresses these concerns directly."
