GLASGOW, Scotland, September 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

MMRIT's customers include hedge funds, alternative investment
managers, barristers' chambers and law firms. Several of them were
keen to move to the cloud to save on infrastructure costs but they
did not want to have to compromise on security.
iomart worked with the MMRIT team to build a highly available,
private cloud platform that meets all the financial and security
requirements of their customers. Instances are securely and
logically separated to protect each client's data. There is no
single point of failure.
Tim Lines, Director and owner of
MMRIT, said: "In the financial sector in particular, the security
and availability of IT systems is key to investor due diligence and
that's where the iomart card is important. The credibility that
comes from working with a partner that has the requisite security
accreditations and is listed on the London Stock Exchange, means
that our clients can be sure we are with them and supporting them
for the long term."
The private cloud environment meets the requirement of the
Financial Conduct Authority and the Solicitors Regulatory
Authority, which means MMRIT can be confident when targeting new
clients in these highly regulated sectors. It can also be scaled up
to support MMRIT's continuing growth.
Paul Line, Head of Commercial for
MMRIT, added: "Working with iomart we were able to assure our
clients that they could trust us with their data and they were
happy to give us control to create the best cloud solution."
iomart is the most accredited provider of managed hosting and
cloud services in the UK. Its private cloud solutions offer a
dedicated resource in the cloud without losing the protection or
security of a traditional on premise solution.
