Gravitas Brings Private Cloud to Mid-West Financial Services Firms
Gravitas, a co-sourcing platform providing technology, risk support and business consulting to the alternative investment industry, today announced the expansion of its Gravitas Private Cloud service, an expandable, secure cloud solution in Chicago. The new service is an upgrade to Gravitas’ existing cloud presence in Chicago, and comes less than three months after Gravitas upgraded their NY cloud service.
The Gravitas Private Cloud was expanded and upgraded in June 2012 in New York with the implementation of a VBlock-based hosting solution. The service is designed for the unique computing and hosting needs of alternative asset managers, from startup to established funds. Just as with New York funds, the Gravitas Private Cloud in Chicago enables deployment of a fully functional IT system in days, versus weeks for traditional cloud solutions. It takes the advantages of cloud computing – flexibility, scalability and lowered upfront costs – and combines them with the turnkey infrastructure and security that regulated financial firms require.
