With ILM, Dutch Rail achieved a secure, adaptable IT landscape, cut legacy SAP system maintenance costs by 50%, and reduced energy consumption.
Moving to AWS cloud meant NGN needed to decommission their legacy storage solution. Due to statutory legalities, the old data needed to be accessible within their SAP environment.

NGN has now completely removed the old data centre, achieving significant reductions in infrastructure spend, and a leaner data environment.
For a smoother migration process and to reduce costs, Derbyshire County Council, together with Proceed, created an archiving strategy to ensure the existing data infrastructure was as lean as possible prior to the move and that any future data was set to be automatically archived if required but still assessible.
