Project Overview

In 2011 HP secured a new managed services contract with Downer to supply services from the End User computer through to Main Frame infrastructure to support Downer’s national application requirements.

Phase 1 was to transition services to HP with minimal disruption to Downer’s operations within four months of Service Commencement date.  This included taking ownership of three existing datacentres.

Once transitioned HP aimed to transform Downer’s IT Infrastructure environment to a single datacentre (dual site) to support group-wide application roll-out and house the majority of Downer systems and servers.  This also included moving Downer on to HP’s new leading edge cloud technology.
