Lot Information

Within TVP, we have a specialist department that currently host all 'live' operational data on Dell Isilon storage clusters which is in support until January 2025. At the end of the support contract, the hardware will likely be deemed beyond economically viable to continue to service and support. The new storage solution must be purchased, implemented, and commissioned with all data transferred by the end of January 2025. The department wishes to seek advice on potential suitable and sustainable replacement for the Dell Isilon product, to understand the scope and scale of the project going forward.
