The council has in place a number of
sophisticated networked data storage devices ( which together are
known as SAN) used to store all user data and information within
the council. The devices within the council’s current Storage
Area Network (SAN) in some cases are approaching their 10th year of
service and in December 2012 four will reach the end of their
extended operating life and will nov longer be supported or
maintained by the supplier. In addition, the capacity of the
current SAN is reaching a critical level.
