Trinity’s mission is to help keep the seas around England, Wales, the Channel Islands, and Gibraltar safe for shipping by looking after 65 lighthouses across the country, as well as light vessels, buoys, and maritime radio/satellite communication systems.
“Protect your digital enterprise” is one of management’s key responsibilities, but what if your company’s responsibility was “protect the country?” Trinity House officially describes itself as “a charity dedicated to safeguarding shipping and seafarers, providing education, support, and welfare to the seafaring community with a statutory duty as a General Lighthouse Authority to deliver reliable, efficient, and cost-effective aids to navigation service for the benefit and safety of all mariners.”
Trinity House recently upgraded its storage infrastructure with a complete HPE technology refresh, working with DTP Group to migrate to HPE 3PAR across three sites and install a new backup storage solution using HPE StoreOnce and Veeam. DTP won with the highest score on Trinity House’s scoring matrix, which included the quality of the tender proposal, quality of the proposed solution, price, case studies, and references from organizations with similar projects. The project became DTP’s first engagement with Trinity House.
Trinity House is now equipped with three HPE 3PAR solutions, two HPE StoreOnce devices, HPE blade infrastructure, fiber channel switches, and a tape autoloader connected to an HPE backup server.
