Joint recovery centre built by three Welsh local councils

Computer Weekly has reported that the Cardiff, Carmarthenshire and Wrexham local authorities have worked in partnership to develop a joint disaster recovery centre. Based in Cardiff, and due to open in August, the new facility will allow essential council functions to continue should a crisis occur.

The centre uses Sun Microsystems platforms and technical support will be provided by Fujitsu Services.

The councils are networked to the recovery site via the Welsh Assembly’s Wales Lifelong Learning Network, which already connects all 22 Welsh councils together, opening the way for other councils in Wales to utilise the same DR facility. However non-Sun users would find it more difficult to join the scheme.
