Logicalis works with NSW State Records on digital
archive project
State Records protects, preserves and makes
available the archives of the Government of NSW. They also set
standards, monitor compliance and provide guidance and training on
record-keeping for NSW public sector
organisation.
Challenges
State Records wanted to improve the digital record keeping
process and implement a digital archives facility for the
government which included a primary site and Disaster Recovery
strategy to allow frequent, rapid and high-volume methods of
data transfer.
Solution
Logicalis proposal was chosen on account of its high level
of strategic consultancy, custom-built storage, server and
virtualisation solution based on EMC and Cisco
technologies.
Benefits
Cassie Findlay, Project Manager, Digital Archives State
Records Authority explained, "it was critical for our chosen
partner to understand the need for openness combined with
future-proofing against the background of legislation and
record-keeping – that’s quite a unique combination of requirement.
We were confident of Logicalis’ ability to deliver all of these
elements while remaining cost competitive."
