ABSTRACT
Inconsistencies in the design, security, storage, disaster controls, performance, management, budget allocations, and electricity consumption were some of the challenges faced by the Namibian Public Sector Data Centres. In addition, the above challenges had led many organizations to rationalize the way they design and manage their ICT infrastructure resources. In this study, the above challenges have led to the introduction of Public Sector Data Centre Consolidation (PSEDCC) architecture which is aimed at enhancing the design and management of Government ICT infrastructure resources in Namibia. Moreover, PSEDCC integrates all Government Data Centres into two sites only-one of which is a Disaster Recovery (DR) site for countering possible disasters in case they occur. This implies that all IT personnel, physical buildings, Information Systems and critical services such as email, storage, backup, and Internet would be centralized and comprehensively managed. As a result, the design and provisioning of ICT services would be standardized henceforth the technological gap between public institutions would be significantly narrowed and overall IT spending would be reduced. It further simplifies Data Centre administration and operation management through the use of Private Cloud and virtualization technologies.
