Vision
As a global research leader, Lancaster University had to provide students, staff and faculty with more modern IT services. The existing infrastructure was difficult to manage and scale, and it did not meet increasing performance requirements. Lancaster was also concerned about protecting its data against evolving cyberthreats.
Solution
Lancaster University partnered with Dell Technologies on a consolidated solution. It supports all data needs with Dell PowerScale and Dell PowerStore storage, powers workloads with Dell PowerEdge servers, simplifies management with centralized AI-driven tools, and improves cyber protection with technologies from Superna.
Impact
Users enjoy easier data access. Applications and research processes run faster, with latencies decreasing from seconds to milliseconds. Advanced security measures safeguard data. And improved insights and controls over the university’s infrastructure and green energy sources improve cost savings and sustainability efforts.
"Our researchers always want more at their fingertips and they want it now. PowerStore delivers higher bandwidth with the lower latency they need."
