Planning, delivery and installation of the servers and storage ran largely without issues. Our Dell project manager was always punctual and did everything quickly and professionally — I can’t praise his work enough.

— Dr. Torge Schmidt, chief technology officer, Jacobs University, Germany

Challenge
Jacobs University wanted to improve end-user experience and simplify maintenance by standardising servers and centralising storage.
Solution

The university deployed a virtualised server platform with centralised Dell/EMC storage and Dell™ PowerVault™-based backup.

 

Benefits
  • Virtualisation cuts server maintenance costs by more than 50 percent.
  • Server deployment time falls from six weeks to a few hours.
  • Staff and students see uptime rise and can send emails faster.
  • Power and cooling costs are reduced.
