Capgemini has opened a new data center in Frankfurt for its outsourcing services. The high quality data center space has been provided by the pan-European data center service company IXEurope for a period of five and a half years.
"Moving our data center to IXEurope consistently follows our outsourcing approach. Capgemini will continue to be responsible for the business critical operation of our clients' IT applications and hardware. However, our partner will be responsible for facility management, which after all, is the company's core business, explains Peter Henkel, Managing Director of Capgemini Systems GmbH.
The IT systems in the previous locations have been moved to the new center during the last few weeks. The new center is now an integral part of Capgemini's global network of some 70 delivery centers. As part of its Rightshore approach combining on-shore, near-shore and off-shore components, Capgemini will mainly use the Frankfurt center to deliver IT infrastructure services for the German market.
The new data center location meets the highest safety and technology standards and offers substantial reserves for further extensions. Capgemini also partners with IXEurope France using services and technical space in the Paris1 IXDatacenter.
