About

Staffordshire County Council awarded a contract to Silverstring Ltd for a 3-year Backup as a Service for its on-premise IBM Spectrum Protect environment.

The contract, valued at £90,440, covers a 24x7 managed service that monitors the environment and ensures daily backups are completed to agreed service levels.

The current estate is sized at 48TB, with an expected reduction of approximately 9TB as the council migrates to Microsoft O365 over the next 9 months.

Further storage reductions are anticipated during the contract period until reaching a static level where growth is mitigated by services moving off-premise to cloud-hosted services and/or infrastructure.
