Why You Should Consider SunGard
SunGard is the market leading Workplace service provider, with a reputation founded on more than 2,500 invocations and an unrivalled 100% recovery success record. These are just two of the reasons why 95% of our customers would be happy to recommend SunGard to their industry peers.
Where You Need Us
With over 10,500 end-user positions across the UK (more than 12,000 across Europe and more than 20,000 globally) and multiple recovery suites of varying sizes, SunGard Workplace Recovery offers more provision than any other provider and is designed to be completely resilient, flexible and scalable.
Workplace Recovery Strategy
Every business will have a recovery strategy that is right for their employees and with SunGard you have access to the widest choice of recovery centres. And for London firms, you may well have planned your recovery on an inner and outer London recovery strategy. Either way, SunGard offers you facilities that can deal with the smallest to the largest of incidents, providing you with the option to remain in London or recover to a ring of outer London centres, conveniently located along the main commuter corridors.
You can of course employ both inner and outer London Workplace Recovery at the same time, – the choice is yours but it should be decided by what you understand to be the risks to your business and your proximity within London!

All of SunGard's recovery centres contain a mix of office accommodation and computer equipment rooms (CERs).
For people…
Each of our recovery suites is provided with all the high-quality modern office facilities you could expect: desks and chairs in air conditioned, secure and discrete environments; high spec PCs and global connectivity.
We can provide fully cabled meeting rooms and conference facilities and there are also kitchens and rest areas available for staff.
For equipment…
All computer rooms benefit from the latest developments in security and resilience to ensure the integrity and availability of your systems and data. SunGard offers unparalleled redundancy to help ensure you never lose access to critical systems and feature:

- Power – UPS, generators and redundant transformers
- Fire suppression – pre-action sprinkler and fire suppression systems
- Cat 5 and 6 structured cabling throughout SunGard's recovery sites
In addition, all premises have 24 hour security monitoring using closed-circuit TV and state-of-the-art security systems. From closed circuit TV to industry leading security systems, we provide state-of-the-art physical and electronic security at all recovery sites.

The buildings are monitored extensively by CCTV cameras, both externally and internally, including all entrance doors, common areas and computer rooms. All are recorded and monitored 24 hours per day.
