Nottingham Trent University (NTU) has signed a contract with Logicalis worth £1.7m for a data centre refresh. The deal will see NTU reduce the number of servers they use at the data centre facility which will cut down carbon emissions by approximately 48% by 2020 ad a 40% reduction in power consumption and cooling. With this move they are preparing for a hybrid cloud approach where they plan to keep critical business data on site and then send other stuff to the cloud.
