DELL TECHNOLOGIES AND HIGHER EDUCATION
Higher education institutions still need an on-premises footprint, even during the mass migration to the cloud of the past several years. These institutions increasingly deploy complex multi-cloud architectures; however, you can still count on finding a server room somewhere on campus.
It’s an “out of sight, out of mind” infrastructure; most end-users pay little attention to what’s going on behind the curtains with storage, cybersecurity and performance. However, IT leaders know that a seamless interaction between technology and the student body is critical at every level. Slow speeds can make an instructor look bad. Compliance with research grant funder requirements can decline. Enrollment could even be affected over time.
