Severn Trent Data Center Migration Case Study

This case study details the data center migration project undertaken by Severn Trent, one of the largest water utility companies in the UK. The document outlines the challenges faced by the company, including the need to relocate a data center that had been in use for 35 years due to the conversion of the property into residential flats. The project, which began in May 2020, required careful planning and execution to meet a tight deadline while ensuring continuous service delivery. Sungard AS was engaged to provide expertise in project management, design, and logistics for the migration. The study describes the collaborative efforts between Severn Trent and Sungard AS, highlighting the importance of communication and flexibility in overcoming obstacles, including those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The successful completion of the migration resulted in significant cost savings and established a resilient IT infrastructure to support Severn Trent's critical operations.
