About

The Competition and Markets Authority awarded a contract to Softcat plc for a hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) hardware solution, along with backup and disaster recovery orchestration, to support its cloud-first transformation strategy.

The contract, valued at AUD 238,695, addresses the restructuring of storage, compute, and backup infrastructure during the agency's office relocation from Holborn to Canary Wharf in 2019, reducing physical infrastructure from two data centres to one.

The solution aims to modernise the agency's hybrid infrastructure, improve data management for production and backup data in Microsoft Azure, and align with the CMA's ICT strategic aims for secure, future-facing IT systems.
