ITI Scotland


Enhancing Agility at ITI Scotland with a Flexible Virtual Environment.

Overview:
ITI Scotland is able to respond quickly to new business demands with a highly flexible new IT infrastructure from Kavanagh, featuring VMware virtualisation and advanced HP server and storage technology.

Scottish Enterprise set up ITI Scotland in 2003 with an initial 10-year brief to run three Intermediary Technology Institutes (ITIs) that create and commercialise intellectual property (IP) in the areas of Techmedia, Life Sciences and Energy.

With R&D programmes being added continually, each requiring IT support, ITI Scotland's computing infrastructure has also been growing with additional servers being added whenever new applications were needed. After four years of organic growth, Tim Wright, Head of Knowledge Management and ICT for ITI Scotland, decided that an upgrade of the IT infrastructure was in order.

Business Challenge:

  • Create a modern flexible, resilient, scalable architecture
  • Implement the new infrastructure without disruption to the business
  • Ensure optimum value for money
