REDWOOD SHORES, Calif.,
June 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle
today announced that State University of New
York is modernizing its infrastructure with Oracle Cloud.
The State University of New York
(SUNY) is the largest comprehensive
university system in the United
States, with 64 institutions serving more than 1.3 million
students. Leveraging Oracle Cloud at Customer, SUNY aims to digitally transform its IT
infrastructure, while meeting stringent regulatory data
requirements and improving services to its constituents. The
solution was selected in conjunction with Mythics, a Platinum-level
partner in the Oracle PartnerNetwork.
Because of regulatory concerns and state mandates, SUNY needed a cloud solution that would sit behind
their firewall, while still offering all the modern capabilities of
a public cloud offering. After a competitive review, SUNY chose the Oracle Cloud Machine and Oracle to
lead its data center transformation. SUNY expects its individual institutions to adopt
the Oracle Cloud Machine to run their public cloud initiatives
while keeping sensitive data within their premises. Individual
schools can leverage the Oracle Cloud Machine to provision virtual
machines, replicate mission critical data for disaster recovery,
and quickly stand-up development and test environments, which can
help those schools to reduce their individual data center
footprints and reduce operating costs.
"SUNY is dedicated to continually
innovating to deliver the best learning experiences for our
students and modern, efficient services for our staff," said
Mike Notarius, CIO of the
State University of New York
Information Technology Exchange Center (ITEC). "We are excited to
stand up the Oracle Cloud at the State
University of New York (SUNY)
Information Technology Center (ITEC) and provide a public cloud
experience within the SUNY Private Cloud."
Leveraging Oracle's Cloud PaaS and IaaS capabilities, Oracle
Cloud Machine enables customers to innovate in the cloud, while
keeping their data behind their firewall. With a comprehensive,
integrated portfolio of platform services, the offering empowers
users to innovate faster, increase productivity, and lower
costs.
