Outgoing CEO explains why its data centre could not be outsourced.

Travel technology firm Amadeus has pinned its growth on a 2002 decision to keep its data centre and software maintenance operations in-house.


At a media briefing in Sydney today, outgoing global CEO David Jones said the company had actively decided against outsourcing, although it had been approached by IBM and EDS.


It now operates a five-petabyte data centre in Erding, Germany that processes up to 17,000 transactions per second with an advertised uptime of 99.99 percent.
