Select Gaming, one of the UK’s largest independent suppliers of gaming and amusement equipment, has invested in a cloud-based computing solution to reduce costs and improve productivity.

Select Gaming opts for cloud

The company chose Cerberus Networks to provide the “future-proof” cloud-hosted computing platform to run its application servers, file storage and virtual desktops.

Select director, Andrew Powell, said: “For reliability and added security, this is all carried out within a private data centre computing environment. On a day-to-day basis we handle a vast amount of data and the new technology encompasses every aspect of our business, including collections, machine logistics, service and supply chain management. Communication between our four operational depots is now seamless.”

Increasingly, businesses are turning to cloud solutions to stay ahead in competitive markets. The centralisation of user applications reduces costs and provides businesses with access to the latest business management software.

“In short, cloud computing will bring real benefits to our customers through the effective outsourcing of some generic activities, enabling us to focus on what we do best, namely, delivering a superior service and driving their machine revenues,” he added.
