The Corporation’s ICT group provides services to approximately 1200 users, via approximately 115 servers & 125 applications. The Corporation currently operates two on-site computer rooms; one in Auckland, one in Wellington. The Corporation currently operates a traditional model of owning the hardware, and operating/managing/maintaining this infrastructure in-house.
A number of trigger events are approaching, which make it appropriate to reconsider the way that ICT services have been operated. Currently the Corporation is assessing its current computer rooms and considering a transition to outsourced data centre services.
Our architectural strategy is to transition to an active-passive, two data centre model which is delivered through a lights-out service from best-in-industry service provider. The Corporation seeks information from suppliers robust, safe, secure, well managed, geographically diverse New-Zealand-based data centre solutions that can house the Corporation's existing environments with room for possible future expansion.
