Janet Signs Framework with Liberata for Cloud Services

London (UK), February 2012 - The UK research and education network Janet has announced its framework agreement with Liberata IT Solutions to supply data-centre and cloud services to the higher-education and research communites.




Liberata will be providing its UK-based ISO27001-accredited cloud and data-centre services. These are designed to offer the higher-education and research communities a set of innovative solutions.

Allan Jackson, Business Director of IT Solutions for Liberata says, "Liberata IT Solutions is committed to helping higher-education communities create efficiencies whilst adding value through facilitating the uptake of data centre and cloud-based services."

Education and research institutions are now seeing energy efficient, off-campus data centres and services as a way to reduce both risk and cost. Cloud delivers efficiency savings and reduced energy bills compared to on-campus data dentres, which can consume as much as ten percent of total campus energy bills.

Liberata is looking forward to working with Janet to help them reach their declared aims and to support the onward development of the UK higher education and research communities.
