EMC, Hewlett-Packard, Dimension Data and Communications Design Management have picked up major contracts to aid the Queensland Government in consolidating its technology infrastructure under its state-owned ICT services provider CITEC.
The state is pushing ahead with plans to centralise its technology at the infrastructure level, despite broadly abandoning plans to use a centralised model for IT services further up the chain '” such as application services.
'Valued at $12 million, these contracts will enable consolidation of the Government's CBD data centres, networks and infrastructure services to CITEC, the primary government IT service provider,' said ICT Minister Robert Schwarten (pictured) in a statement issued yesterday.
Under the new contracts, EMC will provide a consolidated storage and data protection solution, HP will supply datacentre automation, DiData will supply solutions around patch management and seucrity, and Communications Design management will supply a consolidated network and services solution.
Schwarten said a 'very stringent procurement process' was followed before the contracts were signed.
