Vision

Mizzou is building a future where fast, resilient and efficient IT quietly powers every corner of campus life, supporting world‑class learning, research and healthcare while ensuring reliable digital access for students, faculty and the broader community.

Solution

To modernize its IT foundation, Mizzou deployed Dell PowerStore, PowerMax, PowerFlex and PowerEdge servers supported by Dell AIOps, standardizing infrastructure, increasing efficiency and streamlining management across critical academic, administrative and clinical systems.

Impact

With sub‑millisecond performance, seamless user experiences and up to a 50% smaller data center footprint, Mizzou keeps essential academic and clinical services continuously available, enhancing experiences for 30K+ users and freeing IT to focus on innovation.

“We don’t even know what an outage is anymore. Upgrades happen in the middle of the day and no one notices—that’s the level of reliability we need to serve our campus.”
