Datum Datacentres is proud to highlight exciting developments from one of its founding clients, Vissensa, the privately owned cloud and technical consulting company. In June of this year Vissensa took delivery of the IBM systemZ mainframe-based Enterprise Cloud System, a first for the UK – and the impressively capable machine is now installed in Datum’s FRN1 data centre.

A key member of the Datum Cloud Hub, Vissensa has an international client base for which it is actively developing a range of new packaged business solutions running on ZLinux, including Print as a Service and Database as a Service.

Steve Grooms, CEO of Vissensa, comments: “The zEnterprise provides an ideal environment for us to develop new solutions and we are excited by the opportunities it opens up to our clients. By extending the mainframe platform and making it possible to create a hybrid cloud in one single managed environment, the new system offers us a new set of possibilities for deploying new workloads and addresses many of the complexity and integration issues associated with today’s data center implementations. It is also highly secure and with its highly energy efficient design, is a strong contributor to green computing, reducing energy consumption and facilities requirements by up to 80%. Datum’s FRN1 is a perfect complement to the zEnterprise. Datum’s highly secure, highly resilient facilities reinforce the zEnterprise security while the environmentally intelligent cooling further supports the zEnterprise’s contribution to sustainability.”

Dominic Phillips, MD of Datum, adds: “Vissensa’s commitment to innovation and client service is a great demonstration of the types of expertise available to clients via highly secure direct private circuit connections within the Datum Cloud Hub ecosystem. By bringing their infrastructure to our data centre, enterprise clients are able to select from a broad choice of partners for managed services, connectivity, hosting, cloud platforms and more to support their business strategies and facilitate an effective journey to cloud and hybrid compute.”
