About

Cambridgeshire County Council awarded a contract to CDW Limited for the supply, delivery, and implementation of Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) technology within a shared datacentre in Peterborough.

The contract, valued at AUD 726,547.41, included all skilled labour, tools, materials, and equipment.

The ACI infrastructure was required to integrate with existing and new traditional non-ACI networks at Peterborough City Council and partner datacentres (Northamptonshire County Council and Milton Keynes Council), as well as virtualisation technologies such as VMware or Hyper-V.

The project aimed to improve, consolidate, and simplify datacentre operations by addressing the limitations of the current flat network design, which provided limited security and control for lateral traffic and required significant manual management.

The implementation built upon existing ACI foundations established by Peterborough City Council, supporting a joint ICT strategy to deliver shared services infrastructure for public services in Peterborough and Cambridgeshire.
