Why this procedure was chosen
AQ (Limited) will continue to provide Coventry University's primary datacentre for one further year, it would be significant business risk to rush into a plan to relocate the primary datacentre and network communication links in the next 12 months. Coventry University have decided to continue our existing relationship with AQ (Limited) for the stability of datacentre services due to the current financial position of the university group and the pressures facing the education sector. Technology is also changing at a rapid pace which makes it difficult to accurately predict long term placement of services as we continue to adopt more cloud technology. The AQL service is to remain in place for the next 12 months whilst a new supplier, CDW Limited, is onboarded to provide co-location services, A procurement process has been conducted and a contract has been awarded to CDW Limited to provide co-location and all Infrastructure strategic services.
