Hosting Contract for Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)

Connect Internet Solutions are delighted to announce a new client - Defra - for whom we’ll be supplying web hosting and maintenance services for their Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) Network website. RDPE is a funding programme that implements the European Rural Development Regulation in England. The network’s website is a key interface and communications tool between the RDPE Network and its stakeholders. Our web hosting solution recognises the importance of the service to Defra and ensures both a seamless transition to the new web hosting service and a robust, secure ongoing web hosting facility that minimises risk.

Our web hosting solution includes migration to a Virtual Machine (VM) environment, located within our ISO 27001 accredited data centre, and hosting of both the live and staging sites in a secure and fully scalable environment. The initial migration has been delivered ahead of schedule and to the client’s satisfaction. As well as hosting and maintenance, Connect will also be providing practical advice and guidance on how to maximise the website’s potential.
