Capita Secure Information Solutions (Capita), with its UK based Campus Data Centres can deliver at least 35% savings* compared

with conventional Data Centres and still meet all these needs…

The challenge

There is unprecedented pressure on all public sector organisations to cut spending but services, many dependent upon ICT, have to be maintained. It is widely recognised that to reconcile these conflicting requirements new ways must be found to provide these services rather than resorting to a series of incremental cuts to an established model.

Technologies are changing – “Cloud Computing” is the promise but the unique needs of the UK public sector means that many approaches enjoyed by the private sector cannot be exploited.

“Staff and citizens depend on us”

Costs must be cut BUT

“We don’t have the capital”

The data centre needs a refresh BUT

“Our current facilities are power hungry”

We want to be green and we must avoid penalties BUT

“In practise it is very difficult to manage”

Sharing is an option BUT

“It must be secure and in the UK”

Third party hosting is one way forward BUT

NO “BUTs”

The financial case for the Campus Data Centre is compelling

35% lower costs* than conventional data centresBuilt on inherently secure sites using the latest clean technology and on an unsurpassed scale, the Campus Data Centre sets new standards in cost effectiveness without compromising security availability or the environment. Based in the UK, with security endorsed to the highest levels, these facilities meet the unique requirements of the public sector.

5* Based upon 10 year total cost of ownership, conventional

data centre PUE 1.8, electricity costs of 10p/kwh

The Campus slashes data centre costs

Savings

■ Due to low energy charges, power usage alone can be up to 50% less than conventional Data Centres

■ Economies of scale reduce costs even further

Sustainability

■ Usually there is a cost to being green – Capita’s data centres comply and save money

■ Cutting consumption on this scale enables you to minimise carbon penalties

Security & availability

■ A choice of security options means you only pay for what’s needed

■ A choice of resilience on- site, reduces the need for expensive off- site backup

The unique advantages of the Campus Approach

Modular construction for flexibilityThe Data Centres are built on a modular basis on a secure campus so differing levels of security and resilience can be accommodated on a single site, to meet the requirements of the users.

Inherent security and redundancyBuilt on, and surrounded by former MoD land, the facilities are endorsed to the highest levels of physical security. Close proximity to the dual source of national grid infrastructure with multiple, high capacity feeds which ensures continuous power supply.

Scalability and economyBased in rural locations away from major conurbations means that growth is, effectively, unlimited. A phased approach to add modules over time will ensure ongoing availability of space. Operating on this scale delivers savings in supply and service contracts that are passed on to users.

CO2 footprint cut by 50%

Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) is the standard coefficient of efficiency for data centres and relates the total energy used, to that actually consumed by the IT equipment that operates the secure data centre facility. Conventional data centres

range between 2.2 and 2.8 but the Campus Data Centres (due to their advanced cooling and other features) have a

PUE of 1.2 resulting in a carbon footprint that is almost half the industry norm.
