Risk and Compliance Solutions Specialist Selects DediPower to Meet its Co-Location Needs

READING, England, May 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- To Protect and Ensure Secure, Reliable Access to its IT Infrastructure

DediPower, one of the UK's fastest growing managed hosting providers, has 
been selected by Fortent, Inc. to provide its co-location requirements in 
DediPower's Thames Valley Hosting Centre.

A provider of risk and compliance technology and information to the
financial services market worldwide, Fortent required an offsite data centre
in the UK to protect its critical IT infrastructure. With offices on 3
continents, Fortent, like many organisations, turned to DediPower's
co-location service because of the considerable advantages it offers over
maintaining servers in-house. These include significant cost savings as it
becomes unnecessary to build and maintain the in-house requirements that
servers demand which use up valuable capital in facilities. Additionally the
benefits of enhanced security, improved connectivity and hardware reliability
and system flexibility, for Fortent, made co-location an obvious choice.

"Fortent is working with DediPower to deliver our IT hosting requirements
in the UK. The financial service sector has rigorous compliance requirements
and we needed a provider who could deliver to stringent standards of security
in a robust data centre and totally dependable. DediPower fully understood
our requirements and supported by their proven technical excellence has
demonstrated its capability and flexibility in meeting our exacting
requirements. Based on our experience to date, we are very pleased with how
DediPower is responding to our needs and strongly recommend them as a
co-location partner," said Paul Robinson, Global IT Director, Fortent.

DediPower's Co-location solutions offer customers piece of mind that
their servers will be safe and accessible 24x7x365, all housed within a
secure environment with fully managed air-conditioning, redundant power
supplies and high speed connectivity. Located on the outskirts of Reading,
Berkshire, Thames Valley Hosting Centre is also ideal for companies who are
designing disaster recovery requirements into their IT infrastructure.

"Fortent works with the world's leading financial companies to help them
manage risk and mitigate financial crime effectively and efficiently, in this
market reputation is critical. At DediPower, we are pleased that Fortent has
decided to entrust their core systems to our data centre and associated
support services," said Craig Martin, CEO, DediPower.
