MasterClass // Public Sector Lean Virtual Data Centre and Local G-Cloud - A Pragmatic and Practical Approach


Dates & Locations

12th Oct 2010  London

Workshop Synopsis
Adoption of lean virtual data centre architectures isn't a radical new path for Public Sector IT professionals; it's just that in light of local and central government finances, accelerating activities that protect budgets is simply essential.

Logicalis UK, the provider of the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) public sector network on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government, is using its knowledge of building the UK's largest multi-sector PSN to create a pragmatic and practical blueprint for lean virtual data centre and local G-Cloud adoption.

But, let's be honest, none of us can afford the discussion about adopting lean virtual data centre principles or creating new shared service 'G-Clouds' to be fluffy; and so Logicalis' Chief Technology Officer, Simon Daykin, will host a series of workshops to give an insight into Logicalis' architectural approach to public sector lean data centre and review the steps taken by Logicalis in building its own local and regional G-Cloud ready services.

These sessions are about ‘can do’;

  • Architecting an IT service led lean data centre – approach and technology building blocks
  • Virtual Lean Data Centre Principles – virtualisation isn’t just about servers
  • Constructing a Local G-Cloud Service – making cloud work at local and community level
  • Practical implementation examples of ‘g-cloud principles’ in Local Government, Health and Higher Education

Simon will be supported by our data centre and cloud engineering teams as well as our industry partner engineers from Cisco, NetApp and CA Technologies.
