The ISO 27001 certification, conferred by BSI India, the subsidiary of the British Standards Institute, establishes that Frontier’s services and security management adheres to the highest standards in the world.

Ravi Verdes, Founder and Director of Frontier Business Systems, said, “We are delighted to have attained this prestigious certification, which endorses our constant commitment to safeguard the trust and confidence that our costumers place on us. With the ISO 27001 certification, the efficacy of our information security practices stands vindicated and would further give confidence to our customers that their data is safe and secure within the company.”

“We realized the necessity to create a structured management system for securing information and assets. The management structure for security becomes a must as more and more information and information resources are shared between the company and the customer in today’s business models. We decided to implement the ISO 27001 standard soon after moving to our new Green IT Facility at Bengaluru in February 2009. The implementation was done by Frontier’s Internal Information Security Consulting Team and completed in a record time of three months,” Verdes added

He also claimed that the certificate vindicates their Information Security Practices and would give confidence to their customers that their data is safe and secure in Frontier. The company hopes to get more of Remote Infrastructure Management business and have already set up their NOC in their Corporate Office. Frontier aims to achieve 30 percent of their business through services.

“Since we have our own green building with green data center and also implemented Information Security Management system, we can easily translate our experience to serve our customers better than others. This would offer best design with security and investment protection to our customers,” Verdes averred.

Frontier is expanding at a rapid pace in India, having recently set up a green facility in the heart of Bengaluru, at an estimated investment of $4 million. This facility showcases Frontier’s green virtualization solutions enabling enterprises to drastically reduce costs, while improving business service availability, agility and performance.

The new Bengaluru facility scores high in key environmental categories like indoor air quality, energy and water efficiency. Frontier has applied for and hopes to shortly achieve a Gold Certification from LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) for Commercial Interiors (CI) from the US Green Building Council (USGBC) for this facility.

Speaking about the road ahead, Ravi Verdes said that the company aims to establish a data center infrastructure consulting domain, where the main range of activities would include design, execute and manage the data center throughout its lifecyle. “We are a major player in virtualization, having one of the largest pools of certified resources. Apart from this, we are the first IBM partner in this country to have qualified for handling their Dynamic Infrastructure initiative.”
