Data Services Support Award Winning Financial Platform 7IM

Seven Investment Management (7IM) is an award-winning financial services firm managing over £4 billion in client assets that needed secure, audited data hosting, continuous 24/7 uptime, and cost-effective, flexible IT services to support operations in London and Edinburgh. To meet regulatory and resilience requirements, 7IM partnered with Pulsant for colocation, networking, WAN+ and high‑speed internet connectivity.

Pulsant delivered Tier‑3 resilient colocation in its ISO 27001 Edinburgh data centre, hosting 7IM’s Microsoft Hyper‑V private cloud and providing WAN+ connectivity to replicate systems between sites 450 miles apart. The Pulsant solution eliminated heavy inter-site call costs, reduced operational expenses, enabled Edinburgh to serve as the disaster‑recovery site, and produced measurable results including 0% downtime and strong audit/penetration‑test outcomes.
