University of North Texas uses hybrid cloud for it’s three-campus system | #emcworld
The University of North Texas system oversees campuses in Ft. Worth, Denton and Dallas, Texas. The institution already serves more than 41,000 students with a broad range of Academics. Recently it turned its attention to infrastructure by upgrading to EMC’s Federation Enterprise Hybrid Cloud.
The benefits of the hybrid Cloud
“The hybrid Cloud enables us to be a service broker and deliver infrastructure as a service,” CTO and interim CIO Rama Dhuwaraha told theCUBE during EMC World 2015. “Our goal is to be an IT service organization on-premise. We wanted to control the quality, performance and the delivery of our services and have one place to request a service. Automation and orchestration is also a part of it.”
The university uses decentralized IT on campus. The various colleges and three campuses serve as consumers.
In addition to the Enterprise Hybrid Cloud, the University of North Texas plans to partner with Microsoft Azure cloud as a cloud computing platform with VCE Company, LLC’s Vblock as the infrastructure. Enterprise applications serve more than one campus.
‘Better, faster, cheaper and friendlier’
In an industry that moves at lightning pace, Dhuwaraha said that speed isn’t the only priority in his department. “Our philosophy isn’t just ‘better, faster, cheaper,’ but also friendlier,” he said, noting the collaboration required between departments. “The time to provision is no longer many years or months, it’s 12 to 25 weeks.”
