North West Leicestershire DC issued an invitation to tender, which focused on the problems it needed to resolve. After a thorough evaluation of the competing proposals The Council selected ComputerLand because of the greater appropriateness and flexibility of its solution.

ComputerLand used HP hardware and software to provide a consolidated back-up solution that provided fast, reliable and easy to manage data back-up, retrieval and restoration for all The Council’s core IT systems.

Additionally ComputerLand provided a complete implementation service encompassing project management, technical design and consultancy, supply and deployment of the technology, testing and skills transfer, which was delivered on budget and within timescale.                                

“ComputerLand’s solution gave us a lot of flexibility. From a cost point of view the licensing model was much more flexible for us, while technologically it gave us a future growth path to SAN,” explains North West Leicestershire District Council’s IT Manager, Phil Clark.

The solution ComputerLand implemented has dramatically reduced the amount of time and effort required to manage The Council’s data back-ups. As Phil Clark explains, “centralised back-up saves us a lot of time. Additionally our speed of restore has gone from hours to minutes”.
