Data centre modernisation

Data centres have evolved a lot in recent years and modernising will bring significant advantages to your organisation – whether that’s migrating to the cloud or updating your current on-premises solution.

For many, data centre modernisation involves migrating to a cloud platform, such as Azure and AWS. The benefits of a public cloud infrastructure include flexible scalability, reduced management, security, and the ability to rapidly innovate, which is now being realised by many ‘cloud first’ organisations.

The importance of data centre modernisation

Modernising your data centre is crucial for you to not only improve your operational reliability and availability, but also position yourself to meet growing demands and industry standards. As the digital landscape changes and evolves, it’s imperative for you to remain resilient, efficient, and capable of delivering superior services to your customers, citizens, patients, and employees.

Data centre migration

Data centre migration is the process of transferring and relocating an organisation’s IT infrastructure, including servers, storage, networking equipment, and applications, from one location to another.

A data centre migration can involve various scenarios, such as moving from on-premises facilities to a cloud environment, transitioning between data centres, or consolidating data centre resources. Each of these are done with the goal of improving performance, scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness.

Most modern migrations involve an organisation relocating its infrastructure from an on-premises solution to the cloud. This is due to the improved agility, reduced maintenance overhead, and ability to dynamically scale resources based on an organisation’s needs.

Case study

University of Stirling

In 2019, we built a five-year roadmap for the University of Stirling to support them in modernising its data centres and transitioning to a cloud-based infrastructure with Microsoft Azure, instead of its current on-premises model.

The transition has enabled the university to become more sustainable and supports its students’ evolving learning requirements.

Cloud and infrastructure FAQs

Public cloud is a cloud computing service where resources, like servers and storage, are made available to the public over the internet. Public cloud offers scalability, flexibility, and cost effectiveness, making them a popular choice for modern enterprises.

Private cloud refers to a cloud computing environment dedicated solely to one organisation, whether managed internally or by a third-party provider. Unlike public cloud. It isn’t shared with other users and provides greater control over security, compliance, and customisation.

Hybrid cloud integrates private and public cloud environments, allowing data and applications to be shared between them seamlessly. Organisations can utilise on-premises infrastructure for sensitive data or specific workloads while leveraging the scalability and cost-effectiveness of public cloud for other tasks.
