Cloud-based data architecture for IoT hardware deployment
We are seeking a fully managed cloud-based solution to store and process data for a regional smart city IoT deployment.
Due to the complex nature of our partner ecosystem and the security requirements of our Consent Matrix information exchange, we need to manage integration of our incumbent private-cloud environment (Digital Ocean, Docker) with multi-cloud environments (AWS, Microsoft, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack and VMware), which process and exchange real-time information from a varied network of sensor devices located in both fixed and moving vehicle situations.
Optimisation of data latency is business critical, as our applications power real-time information systems for public transport and destination operators, and include vehicle and venue occupancy data that must be refreshed at a maximum of 300ms. Additional managed support requirements include:
- 24/7 X 365 support
- Enterprise DR plan & SLA
- Application portfolio management
- Configuration and optimization
Contract term: 12m with 6 performance review/break clauses
Budget: up to £60,000
Timescale: Appointment 1 November 2019

- Your Proposed Project Approach
