Capita has signed a contract with Ark Data Centres, meaning that Ark will supply secure, energy efficient data centre space for the new Capita Private Cloud platform.

In a press release Ark Data Centres has claimed that, by using Ark’s services, Capita will spend one-tenth the capital cost compared to what it would stand to spend maintaining its existing facilities.

Executive director of Capita IT Enterprise Services Peter Hands said: “Ark Data Centres offers modern facilities which integrate its innovation in cooling technology, dynamic monitoring, modularity, security by building not site, guaranteed power usage effectiveness (PUE) and speed.

“Combined with our expertise in cloud based services, we’re in prime position to deliver the availability that our customers need, with the flexibility and security that they want and with the reduced carbon footprint that everyone seeks.”
