  • Higher Education Industry Brief


    The Challenge:

    With ever-tightening budgets and increased demands on the system, today's colleges and universities have struggled to respond to the fast-changing world of data and computing. What's more, academic institutions must deal with various computing types and associated data – from sophisticated, high-performance computing in its research departments to mundane point-of-sale systems operating in cafeterias and bookstores.

    The typical campus is a microcosm of the world of computing and faces real-world problems like staffing, budget shortages, security, and obsolescence. Add to this the crowded marketplace in which universities compete and the increased pressure to make college affordable, and you've got a whole set of challenges on your hands.

    Conclusion:

    University data center consolidation projects are unique in the diversity of their requirements but provide the opportunity for economic and energy efficiencies through the advantage of pooled resources and funding. These large greenfield projects offer the chance for much-needed retooling of college computing norms that support the overall mission of most universities to provide the best product in the marketplace in a way that education is more affordable for all.

    Switched PDUs = Power Control


    The Challenge:

    Joseph Keena, Manager for Datacenter Operations for Shands, has spent the last ten plus years diligently working to keep ahead of the increasing growth and demands placed on the Shands IT infrastructure. Their UF Health IT facilities have grown from one data center hall to four. A recent project had a new data center space being built out with a higher ceiling than his standard room, allowing Joe to deploy racks taller than 42U. Joseph needed a custom power solution to fit his taller cabinets and the increased power densities with the bigger enclosure. Joseph was not sure whether or not the server team would want blades or 1U servers; thus, his application required a mix of outlet types, and he needed to maximize available power.

    Outcome:

    Joseph's switch in PDU families resulted in the ability to: control outlet provisioning four remote data centers, improve capacity planning, and clearly understand where available power exists for utilization.
    “Server Technology works in a true partnership with the customer. We have a 10 year working history together, and we grew together during that time."
