The strategy was divided into three stages. Stage one involved initially bringing everything back on-prem. This was a temporary solution as the on-site data centre required an upgrade.
Now that UWA had control of its data, stage two involved transitioning to a hosted data centre with a hybrid cloud solution, utilising both private and public cloud. This comprised of:
- transition technical approach
- establishing operational processes
- forming an integrated team
- completing acceptance testing of the DC Hosting Platform.
With the data successfully moved, stage three saw the Atturra Managed Services team integrated into the UniIT team to monitor and manage the data centre platform, including VMware vCentre environment, Cisco UCS Compute, Pure Storage and the Commvault backup system.
Throughout the project, Atturra collaborated closely with the UniIT team to overcome any hurdles and find a way forward, whether that was applying additional resources, bringing in increased capability, or changing the direction or velocity of the project.
