Description

Northumbria University is seeking a partner to work alongside the internal IT Services infrastructure team to shape and then transform their network and compute hardware, and facilities. The future vision is a new technical infrastructure at Northumbria that does not block innovation for teaching and research across the University. In parallel, IT Services is looking to reduce costs, reduce the on-premises footprint and utilise cloud services where possible. The selected partner will work with specialists at Northumbria to design a software-defined data centre utilising hyper-converged infrastructure to aid monitoring, alerting and security. The design will also need to comprise a modern backup solution and a re-design of the existing on-premises data centres to accommodate the overall architecture. The successful partner for this collaborative engagement will assist us to produce an Infrastructure & Cloud Strategy for the University, an architectural roadmap for the delivery of the strategy and a high-level design of the end-state architecture. To initially respond to this expression of interest, please provide an overview of how you would approach this opportunity both practically and commercially as requested in the opportunity in our Delta system.
