We needed a solution that would allow us to shift our data-centre reliance from head office, while investing into a more agile, scalable and accessible infrastructure,” says Hughes. “In collaboration with DTP, we designed a new virtualisation platform that we could deploy into a new purpose-built data centre in Glasgow, while taking the opportunity to build a replica solution at our business-continuity centre located several miles outside of the city.”

With extensive experience and access to relevant expertise, services and hardware, DTP was the perfect partner for the company. DTP had already established a relationship with ScotRail, having provided a variety of adhoc professional services, and these had met the very high standards of the organisation.

“We procured professional services from DTP to help us get the equipment commissioned,” says Hughes. “The company provided us with a technology consultant who helped us to do this and he was incredibly knowledgeable, ensuring that the equipment arrived in the time-frame we needed and that it was installed to our exacting requirements.”

DTP installed and built the two new virtualisation platforms and configured all aspects of the new hardware. The company also assisted with the build out of the Windows Server blades and the Hyper-V cluster to ensure that migration and management were of an exceptional standard.
