Warwick District Council is to use a new disaster recovery system to guard against severe flooding risks to its main offices and IT systems.
The council is installing two new enterprise virtual arrays (EVA), one of which will be based on the ground floor of the office at flooding risk, with the other on a higher floor.
The back-up will hold identical clone data and have an initial capacity of 8 terabytes, with an additional back-up planned for an off-site location.
Ian Mobberley, a technical architect at Warwick says the council needed to hold its data in two areas concurrently.
'We also wanted to be able to do some off-line back-ups because our back-up periods were essentially saturated,' he said.
'OCSL and McDATA were able to meet our challenge both physically and financially.'
