- RMIT University adopts HPE GreenLake to meet increasing demand
for online learning and growth of its essential research
- HPE GreenLake eliminates heavy data storage upfront costs and
avoids expensive overprovisioning, especially during the online
learning surge caused by the pandemic
- With HPE GreenLake, RMIT has reduced service delivery resources
by 50 per cent
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced RMIT
University had selected the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud platform to
transform its storage capability to support major research
opportunities, manage the increase in online learning, and
strengthen the quality-of-service delivery to its student body.
RMIT is a global university with 95,000 students and close to
10,000 staff. Since the start of the pandemic, universities across
Australia face ongoing challenges, including a shift to online
learning, border closures limiting international student enrolments
and impacts to university research and funding.
RMIT’s ambition is to act less as infrastructure managers and
focus more on being value enablers for the student body. A large,
legacy IT storage system has been obstructing the realization of
this vision. Resulting in labor-intensive processes, costly
maintenance bills to support legacy equipment and preventing RMIT
from responding to surges in demand.
With HPE GreenLake, RMIT eliminates heavy upfront data storage
costs and avoids expensive overprovisioning. “The HPE GreenLake
platform facilitates self-service agility allowing us to easily
deploy resources, view costs and forecast capacity. We pay only for
what we use when we use it, and scale to what we need when we need
it,” said Sinan Erbay, CIO at RMIT.
“Before deploying HPE GreenLake we had ongoing monthly crisis
meetings and faced limitations when valued research projects were
offered to us. This was stressful,” Erbay explained.
The HPE GreenLake platform, along with HPE Data Storage
solutions enables the university to overcome the limitations of the
large legacy data storage environment. This provides agility when
there are surges in demand for large research projects, enabling
RMIT to easily accept major research opportunities and slash
provision time for updates and new services from weeks to
hours.
For RMIT, the total cost of ownership is better understood and
better balanced, and the IT resource effort needed to manage and
maintain service delivery was reduced by 50 per cent.
“We’re proud to partner with an innovative and forward-thinking
organization like RMIT. We look forward to the continued
partnership and improving the tertiary education experience in
Australia,” said Patrick Matthews, Director for HPE Pointnext
Services Australia & New Zealand.
RMIT see its partnership with HPE growing with increased
collaboration in innovation ideas and initiatives. The university’s
research is responsive to real-world problems, open to new
collaborations and flexible in its approach.
“We’re interested in expanding our capabilities with hybrid
cloud environments. We are looking at HPE Synergy as the
composable, software-defined infrastructure to achieve this.
Meanwhile our five-year plan includes large wireless networking and
bringing a better understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
Machine Learning (ML) to our student body,” Erbay said.
