Stockport Council has reduced its data centre footprint by 20 times in a bid to cut costs and drive up efficiencies.
The council’s deal with cloud computing provider Nutanix will see its two data centre shrink from 10 racks to just half a rack.
The move is part of the councils digital by design strategy, and aims to provide a more flexible and resilient solution to data storage by consolidating computing, virtualisation and storage into a single appliance.
