To release £12,040.66 for the procurement of virtualisation software, back-up solution software and implementation of virtualisation for storage attached network (SAN) solution for Breckland Council office – Thetford.
Reasons for the decision:
Option 2 is the only course of action available to Breckland Council in working towards allowing the Acadamy and Comino software applications to be upgraded and virtualised.
Alternative options considered:
