Description

Portsmouth City Council (PCC) is undertaking a programme to upgrade the ageing server and storage infrastructure in its on-premise data centre, and one possibility the council is considering is to relocate to a remote co-location data centre, and thereby relinquish the need to maintain its own ageing data centre. However, to make this decision the council requires further clarity on the costs for implementing and paying for a co-located data centre.

We recognise the experience and innovation that suppliers can bring to these services. As such PCC would welcome your organisation's market information, which will be used to enable PCC to understand their future costs and thereby drive a decision.
