Dealogic
Providing a resilient and reliable e-commerce infrastructure
 |
The Dealogic Group provides coverage of corporate finance activity and deal management systems to fulfil the global needs of capital markets and investment banking professionals. When it started planning new data centres for two subsidiaries, on365 provided the independent, informed advice that would ensure the implementation of the highest level of power protection to give 24/7 availability. |
on365 took responsibility for the end-to-end management of both projects. This included the design of turnkey protected power and cooling solutions through to installation and commissioning to meet the predetermined deadlines. It also provided the highest levels of consultancy and maintenance support.
The first data centre was for Biomni, a leading provider of practical e-procurement solutions that are designed to meet the electronic trading needs of both buyers and suppliers. Handling over one million transactions each day, Biomni manages Europe’s largest e-trading community and provides a range of e-procurement solutions to give suppliers a low risk route into the world of e-commerce and enables organizations to set up their own trading environments.
on365 implemented three APC Silcon 80 kVA 3 phase systems, each configured for N+1 operation with 30 minutes battery backup.
Full integration with the emergency power generators was provided to ensure a smooth switching in the event of a power failure. In addition, environmental monitoring was installed to ensure that the temperature and humidity in the data centre always remained within optimum levels.
The other data centre was for Computasoft,which develops syndicate management systems for both the retail and institutional markets and has an unrivalled knowledge base encompassing all the major areas of investment banking including comprehensive coverage of global mergers and acquisitions.
on365 implemented a high availability solution including two APC Silcon 40 kVA 3 phase systems, each configured for N+1 configuration. “The protected power and cooling solutions implemented by on365 will play a key role in the growth of both companies,” states Robert Farmer of Dealogic. “Having a resilient and reliable technology infrastructure will enable us to be at the forefront of developments in the rapidly growing global e-commerce business-to-business market.”
