The Who
- World-class education institution in North England, offering over 700 courses
- Home to 25,000 students
The Challenge
- New international campus being opened, and the IT needed to match that of the UK campus
- Replicating UK systems abroad would be costly and require on-site expertise in new location
- Overseas connection speeds were unreliable, so dependency on a private cloud was risky
- Limited time schedule to implement new solution
The Solution
- WAN acceleration technology from Silver Peak made it possible to use a private cloud
- Loan equipment was used as proof-of-concept to ease concerns
- Servium and Silver Peak shadowed the client while they implemented the solution themselves
The Benefits
- Minimal infrastructure required in new location, with only one team member needed to manage it
- Only using 20% of available bandwidth, leaving headroom for growth
- Solution deployed on-time, and ahead of campus opening
- Created a blueprint for future off-shore campuses
Why Servium?
- Exceptional planning, including technology options and commercial terms
- Around-the-clock support to ensure effective and successful delivery of the solution
