Atos has signed a £100m deal to provide EDF with datacentre services over 10 years. The deal is set to consolidate EDF datacentres, and reduce costs by over 20 percent over the next decade.

Atos will provide EDF Energy with the ability to meet demand through greater datacentre capacity, while increasing service resilience. The contract will cover the move of more than 100 employees from EDF to Atos.

Nigel Pettifer, datacentre head at EDF, said: "The new solution will enable us to run our business more cost-effectively while improving the resilience and flexibility of our IT infrastructure.”
