SunGard Availability Services Launches ?SunGard Online?

SunGard Availability Services, the pioneer and leading provider of Information Availability services, today announced the introduction of SunGard Online: An on-demand computing platform, providing Public Cloud service-level flexibility backed by SunGard’s over 30 years of experience in delivering resilient IT infrastructures and that offers businesses the ability to access the enterprise grade compute resource they need, when they need it. The intuitive online portal allows SunGard customers to harness the power of the cloud to support rapid access to robust, scalable resources without lengthy set up times or a complex management interface.

As organisations continue to look to drive efficiencies and deliver always-available resources they are increasingly reliant on IT to help achieve scalability, cost savings and flexible operations. SunGard Online offers businesses the opportunity to realise these benefits through the cloud in an easy to access and secure hosted environment.

SunGard Online can help deliver the following benefits:

• Efficiency: The underlying technology maximises multi-hypervisor capabilities and offers flexibility to future-proof the service by not restricting it to a single technology.
• Flexibility and packaged service: Businesses only need to pay for resources that they use in a packaged service – starting from only 9c per hour for 30 day contracts. Extra resources can be provisioned within minutes via 24/7 self-service portals.
• Intuitive: The secure online portal allows an autonomous approach to cloud management based on pre-defined packages that can be designated within your budget.

Gary Watson, general manager, Ireland for SunGard Availability Services comments: “This is an important development in SunGard’s cloud capability, giving businesses control and autonomy, as well as ultimate flexibility, in how they choose to transition to the cloud. Companies of all sizes can leverage the stable and robust service, benefitting from enterprise service level guarantees, without the capital costs of larger IT projects.”

With over 30 years of experience keeping organisations’ critical applications up and running, the SunGard Online environment offers a secure and flexible user platform and provides the foundation to support application development & testing, data modeling, online transactions and software delivery. This development in SunGard’s portfolio of cloud solutions extends a capability that spans public, enterprise and dedicated private cloud infrastructures supported by experienced migration consultants.to ensure customers journey into, and through, the cloud is both smooth and cost-effective.
