“I restored it to a virtual server and got us up and running but it was very much a ‘never again!’ moment for me.”īy the time the COVID–19 pandemic struck the Territory, Calibre One had migrated Somerville to its cloud managed services, led fibre internet to the caregiver’s three administration sites and linked it through Telstra’s triple-redundant fibre paths. “We lost power in the office for a week, so I had to carry that server to our other office and it wouldn't turn on,” Somerville manager ICT and systems administration Jannie Bacus said. Somerville’s cloud journey started with the devastation wrought by tropical Cyclone Marcus in 2018 - the strongest cyclone to hit Darwin in 45 years, costing the Northern Territory $75 million and felled 430 power lines that blacked-out 26,500 properties.
