FNTS is a managed cloud and IT services provider that hosts, manages and secures a company's infrastructure, including mainframe and legacy systems. It runs a broad managed-services catalog: cloud computing and virtualization billed for what a customer uses, operating-system support that keeps environments running around the clock, and database administration and monitoring across DB2, Oracle and MSSQL. It manages LAN and WAN networks and the security devices on them, and provides a security stack including vulnerability scanning, penetration testing and intrusion detection and prevention, along with storage, automated backup and disaster recovery. A distinguishing strength is support for older and mixed environments, mainframe, iSeries and various UNIX flavors, alongside Windows and Linux, which suits organizations with legacy systems they cannot simply replace. It has a track record with regulated customers such as banks. For a company that wants to outsource the running and securing of a mixed IT estate, FNTS is a managed-services provider.
Best for
- Organizations that want to outsource hosting, management and security of their IT infrastructure.
- Companies with mainframe, iSeries or mixed legacy environments that need experienced management.
- Regulated businesses, such as banks, that need managed infrastructure with strong security and disaster recovery.
- IT teams with limited capacity that want operating systems, databases and networks managed around the clock.
A company with a small, modern, cloud-native footprint and its own capable team gets less from a broad managed-infrastructure provider.

How buying works
The store is the easy part. Staying on the account is the job.
Anyone can show you logos. The reason to buy here is what happens on install night, and on the ticket you open nine months later.
- 01
Build your quote list
Add services and companies as you shop. No form stands between you and the shelf.
- 02
We bring back real options
A person shops the bench against your addresses, then walks you through what fits and what does not.
- 03
We handle the order and install
Paperwork, site survey, install dates, cutover night. You get one thread, not five vendors.
- 04
We stay on your account
Same team for moves, adds, tickets and the next renewal. That is the part everyone else drops.
