The Foundation for Business-Enabling IT

For decades, Capgemini has been working with industry-leading technology partners to provide Data Center and Infrastructure Services to a wide range of clients from a wide variety of sectors and demographic regions.

Our Data Center and Infrastructure Services portfolio includes hosting and managed facilities to server consolidation and virtualization.

Providing the Infrastructure for Secure, Sustainable Services

Our Data Center and Infrastructure Services respond quickly to your changing needs to ensure appropriate service levels and are:

• Cost effective: reduce the total cost of your IT operations by up to 30%
• Secure: focus on business objectives and maintain peace of mind, as our physical and logical security has been tested to military standards
• Flexible: bridge the gap between traditional on-premise enterprise architecture and the public cloud through our Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) offering, which combines the operational "pay-as-you-go” cost model with the security of a direct connection to your network
• Sustainable: tap into a network of energy-efficient sites, including one of the most sustainable data centers in the world
• Resilient: benefit from 99.9% system availability

We have no allegiance to any specific technology vendor. In fact, we have strong alliances with all the major hardware providers. This means we work with you to select the hardware infrastructure that is sufficiently mature for adoption and that will most effectively address your business needs and objectives.

Tap into a Global Network of Energy-Efficient Data Centers

In addition to ensuring the security, resilience and cost-effectiveness of our data centers, we are committed to improving the energy efficiency of our data center network. All of our data centers have Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) ratings that are better than the industry average.

Our Merlin Data Center is the best example of our commitment to environmentally responsible IT. Sustainability is central to Merlin, playing a key role in the facility’s industry-leading PUE, its location, design and construction and the site’s day-to-day operation.

Leveraging Cloud Computing for a More Integrated IT Architecture

IT estates can include bespoke legacy systems through to off-the-shelf productivity solutions. Increasingly, cloud-based solutions are being considered as part of this picture.

At Capgemini, we do not believe cloud is the answer to every question. However, our extensive experience in introducing our clients to cloud technologies and our status as first service provider to bring public cloud services to the enterprise space has shown us that cloud computing is sufficiently mature to be adopted as an extension of, not replacement for, existing delivery platforms.

In practical terms, we envisage a Compute Continuum that runs from proprietary, discrete assets dedicated to a specific function, through the emergence and adoption of best practice in estate management, virtualization, consolidation, multi-tenancy, and, ultimately, to public cloud in its truest sense.
