Reserve Bank of Australia has outlined plans to outsource the migration of “all workloads” from an on-premises to third-party data centre under its core modernisation program.
The central bank made plans to set up a new colocation data centre and to modernise its core infrastructure late last year.
It has since said it will put its infrastructure and workloads in CDC Data Centres under a $37 million deal.
Now, the bank has disclosed that it will appoint a “workload migration systems integrator (SI) for the migration of workloads to [its] new data centre.”
RBA said in tender documents that the integrator will “migrate all workloads to the new data centre.”
The tender isn’t to find the systems integrator, but rather seeks to appoint a panel of legal advisers to review the proposed arrangement.
The bank’s legal needs around IT procurement are broader, with multiple firms to be engaged on “significant IT contracting matters” as well as more “business-as-usual” engagements.
Significant in this context will mean specific legal analysis of contracts worth more than $400,000; where the work “forms part of the bank’s critical infrastructure”; where cloud services are procured; or where the work has resilience implications.
