Outsourcery has finalised the design for its secure cloud platform – the ‘Secure O-Cloud’ – around next generation architecture that will use Microsoft software technologies and Dell hardware. The group believes that the chosen design, developed in partnership with Microsoft and Dell, will provide a highly resilient, secure and scalable platform from which to drive public sector and particularly central government adoption of cloud services.
The required infrastructure for the platform has now been ordered and construction of the Secure O-Cloud remains on track for completion by the end of July 2014. Following accreditation, which also remains on track, deployment of the platform will begin in H2 2014, in line with the timetable set out alongside the December 2013 Placing.
Outsourcery is in discussions with existing partners, as well as several large new potential partners with established public sector capabilities and sales reach, interested in reselling its secure cloud-based services.
Commenting on the deployment update, Co-CEO Piers Linney, said: "This is a major milestone in the deployment of our secure cloud platform for government and our timetable continues to advance according to plan. The opportunity for us to take a meaningful, first-mover position in this sector is significant and the government's continued, active promotion of cloud adoption across the public sector is helping to focus attention and drive interest. Government will require the most stringent security standards be met for very sensitive cloud deployments and Outsourcery remains the only UK supplier currently able to uphold those standards."
