ATG chooses Proact for next-generation data centre
March 2016 by Marc Jacob
ATG has chosen to work with Proact to renew much of its data centre. This solution is a futureproof, “cloud-ready” platform based on the latest converged IT infrastructure technology, an integrated architecture for servers and storage using components from Cisco, NetApp and VMware. One new feature characteristic of our age is the fact that flash memory – which can completely replace conventional rotating hard disks nowadays – is used for all active data storage.
Proact will also be supplying its Enterprise Support and standing responsible for project management and implementation for ATG.
ATG is a modern bookmaker owned by trotting and thoroughbred racing. The IT function is becoming more and more key as ATG develops, because the company’s 1850 also representatives and, frequently, large numbers of online gamblers always need access to the services for games and results.
The same time, this new platform constitutes an element in ATG’s plans for major transformation of their IT organisation. After having used traditional networking and server environments, the company now has its sights set on a fully virtualised environment with emphasis on cloud services.
