Cloud Platform
Introduction
SunGard Availability Services bring the flexibility, scalability and speed of deployment and reaction of Cloud computing to
a highly managed, Enterprise class, multi-site computing and storage platform.
Built on Enterprise grade IBM and HP Blade Servers, running entirely on multiple,
diverse Storage Area Networks and with enterprise grade virtualisation both at the compute
