About
Isle of Anglesey County Council
Public Sector Data Security & Resilience

Isle of Anglesey County Council

The Isle of Anglesey County Council (Cyngor Sir Ynys Môn) is the local authority responsible for delivering education, social care, waste, transport and digital services across Anglesey in Wales. With around 3,000 employees supporting communities across the island of Anglesey, the Council has a strong strategic focus on: supporting vulnerable citizens, improving education outcomes, enabling economic development and delivering modern, digital public services.

 

The Challenge

Anglesey’s digital services rely heavily on secure, high‑performance data systems.

The Council needed to:

  • Manage fast‑growing data volumes
  • Improve resilience and performance across critical applications
  • Reduce the rising cost of storage management
  • Eliminate time‑intensive manual processes
  • Ensure continuous availability for citizen‑facing services
  • Support future initiatives such as digitisation and analytics

Peak demand, such as severe weather or major local events, often placed additional strain on the existing storage infrastructure, risking slowdowns and service disruption.

The Solution

A smarter, high‑performance storage environment

To meet increasing digital demands, the Council implemented a new tiered storage landscape built on IBM technology and delivered by Celerity.

Key components

  • IBM FlashSystem 900 for ultra‑fast performance

  • IBM Storwize V7000 hybrid storage for flexible scaling

  • IBM Virtual Storage Center for simplified end‑to‑end management

  • Active‑active configuration across two datacentres for true high availability

  • IBM Metro Mirror & FlashCopy for seamless replication and non‑disruptive snapshots

8b639880-1804-11ee-a178-c3a549e58b0e

The Results

Resilient services that meet citizen expectations

With its IBM FlashSystem and Storwize environment, the Council can now support large data volumes, unexpected demand spikes and mission‑critical services without compromise.

Impoved agility

During a major infrastructure move, the Council successfully migrated all website servers to in‑house datacentres within just two weeks, without citizens noticing any downtime.

Lower cost, higher efficiency

The new platform delivers more capacity with a smaller hardware footprint, reducing running costs and providing a solid foundation for initiatives like:

  • Digitising paper records

  • Expanding mobile and agile working

  • Launching future analytics programs

“Celerity clearly knew what they were doing at all stages of the implementation, making it a very smooth experience.”
