The European Fund Administration (EFA), the independent company servicing investment funds present in Luxembourg, today revealed that it has upgraded its IT infrastructure to offer clients fund administration services powered by a state-of-the-art and green IT platform.
The infrastructure, distributed across two IT rooms, has been individually sized to operate all production activities are now both hosted in certified Tier-IV data centres. This gurantees best performance and permanent continuity of EFA's services, whiilst the infrastructure as a whole will promote innovation and sustainability.
"Our applications are running on mission critical computer systems hosted in award-winning Tier-IV data centres offering the highest level of availability with fully redundant subsystems, supervised and managed on a 24/7 basis," commented Jean-Marc Verdure, Director of IT, Organisation & General Services. "In the event of a technical incident or unavailability of a data centre, a partial or overall take-over of our services and applications can be done instantaneously in a single data centre".
In addition, the upgrade has enabled EFA to renew hardware and systems with sustainable and eco-friendly components and processes such as materials, cooling systems, power consumption management and recycling, embarking on a better approach to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). EFA was recently awarded the EcoVadis CSR silver rating.
