Severn Trent Water has started the procurement process to outsource its IT data centre and support services.
The water company wants to appoint a number of suppliers to provide data centre operations for some 120 company sites and 6,500 users, as well as associated support for the next seven years.
Key business systems are hosted primarily from one data centre, with back-up centres housing equipment for resilience and reliability.
The data centre houses three different types of servers, including an IBM Mainframe, Wintel Servers and Unix servers, including blade servers, according to a procurement document issued by the organisation.
The successful bidders will have to provide services transition, implementation of hardware, software, upgrades, software patches and releases and decommissioning.
