The University of Strathclyde is enhancing its learning environment with an infrastructure overhaul from IT lifecycle specialists, Esteem Systems. The new platform will significantly reduce maintenance cost and carbon footprint, as well as provide flexible access to information and applications, enabling the University to best support the growing numbers of distance learning students.
The new infrastructure from Esteem will be crucial to modernising learning resources, benefiting the University of Strathclyde's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), as well as business management and performance in areas such as the library, finance, HR, staff portal and student records. Vital to making the University of Strathclyde a 24/7 educational establishment will be the two data centres in different campus locations, providing asynchronous and near real time replication and back-up facilities with no single point of failure.
Server hardware from Sun Microsystems will provide faster, more reliable and robust services with reduced energy consumption and cooling requirements, also reducing the University's carbon footprint. Integration onto the new Storage Area Network (SAN) will provide a standard disk architecture which will lower maintenance costs and greatly improve performance.
The contract will also provide a single point of contact for all Strathclyde's maintenance and support needs which is welcomed by the University.
