Vision
Ghent University, one of the top 100 universities in the world, required a way to accommodate fast-growing storage requirements while providing researchers with a secure way to quickly glean insights from data from anywhere, at any time.
Solution
To gain the scalability, accessibility and security it needed, Ghent University partnered with Dell Technologies to create a data storage solution that would provide quick insights and fast recovery, if needed.
Impact
With a user-friendly, scalable storage solution from Dell Technologies, Ghent University can accommodate growing data, automate file storage workload requests and provide researchers with access to information from anywhere using S3 protocols while saving an estimated 30–35% over other storage alternatives.
“ECS object storage is the strategic platform of the future for us. In a hybrid, multicloud world, ECS supports a wide range of applications.”
Johan Van Camp, Head of ICT Infrastructure, Ghent University
Belgium’s Ghent University relies on Dell PowerScale, Dell ECS and more to meet the growing needs of students, faculty and staff.
