What it is for
The University intends to transition from its existing traditional three-tier virtualisation environment to a hyperconverged solution that will deliver enhanced efficiency, streamline management, and expand automation and integration capabilities. This move is driven by the need to modernise the University's IT infrastructure in order to better support academic, administrative, and research initiatives. By adopting a hyperconverged platform, the University aims to reduce operational complexities, lower total cost of ownership, and improve scalability. The new system is expected to facilitate faster deployment of services, stronger data protection, and simplified maintenance processes. Additionally, this change positions the University to more effectively respond to evolving technological demands and ensure robust, future-proofed digital services for students, faculty, and staff alike.
