C5 Alliance in Guernsey has formed a collaborative partnership with London-based data centre specialist VIRTUS.
The move will allow both companies to share experience and intelligence, providing the opportunity for Channel Island businesses to host data wholly or partly in the UK while benefitting from on-island solutions. VIRTUS customers will also have access to offshore hosting through C5 Alliance’s data centres, and migration of legacy data to either location will be streamlined.
Marc LainÉ, Managing Director of C5 Alliance in Guernsey, views the agreement as a way to offer businesses greater flexibility when deciding how to manage their data.
VIRTUS operates certified data centres from two London locations. Its offering includes limitless bandwidth, up to six layers of security for clients and the lowest PUE (power usage effectiveness) rating available in the UK from a provider of its type.
