GLA University, a leading private university in India, has selected Dell Technologies to support its digital transformation journey. With the implementation of the only jointly engineered hyper converged infrastructure (HCI) system with VMware, Dell EMC VxRail, GLA University can now manage the most demanding workloads and applications to become future-ready.
GLA University’s IT infrastructure was not equipped to handle an overload of concurrent users which led to regular unscheduled maintenance checks and forced downtime of up to eight hours of server stoppage, and up to a minute for simple data retrieval jobs.
To overcome this huddle, GLA University invested in individual servers and outsourced admissions that increased their IT investments, infrastructure manpower, and overheads significantly.
The University collaborated with Arrow PC Network, a Titanium Partner of Dell Technologies, to deploy Dell EMC VxRail that helped them deliver lifecycle management of a fully integrated hardware and software stack.
With Dell EMC VxRail solution, GLA University enhanced its savings in terms of manpower and training. The university has also reduced overheads (AMC, Electricity, Cooling units etc.) and diverted 80% of the team’s time to high-value tasks.
The students and staff members now have ease of access to applications around the clock and face near-zero downtime even while working remotely.
