Description
Bristol City Council IT infrastructure was originally deployed in Council owned data centres in the city, services provided on behalf of BCC and ensures support and security with data backed up off site to a secure external location.
In recent years the council has moved much of its IT estate to the cloud, reducing its reliance on its own physical IT infrastructure such as on-premise data centres. However, there is still some need for physical data centres at present, particularly where legacy systems and data stored on them as less suited to a cloud environment and/or need complex and costly work to transition them to the cloud. With some vital systems and much critical data still stored locally, it is vital that the council has robust disaster recovery, back-up and other protective services, which help safeguard our data in case of any failures in local data centres or other incidents (including cyber-attack) which could compromise our data and/or services.
