ONS accelerated its move to Crown Hosting and is allocating further racks
The problem
ONS is the UK's largest independent producer of official statistics. Its existing data centres had no break clauses and it had no plans to move. Once government technology leaders raised Crown Hosting, ONS needed to check whether the pricing, security and access would work for a move it had not planned.
The solution
ONS visited the sites to see how its servers would sit within secure data rooms, then accelerated its migration. With good lead time, access for ONS staff and third party engineers was straightforward, and cabling, equipment and fit out were arranged around the hosting solution ONS chose.
What it delivered
ONS brought its move forward, although its existing data centres had no break clauses
Being allocated from its existing estate after the first move went smoothly
Described by ONS as excellent, with the flexibility it needed during implementation
The move to Crown itself has not presented any challenges. In fact, it has been so smooth that we're continuing to work with Crown to allocate further racks from our existing data centre estate.
