Solution	With the support of HPE partner, NTT Ltd., HPE SimpliVity enabled Federation to establish a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which improves application performance, frees up storage, and accelerates local and remote backup and restore functions. Full backups take only a few seconds to complete, much faster than traditional backups. The immediate impact is that Federation is more robust and more certain in its IT operations. With HPE SimpliVity's inherent high-availability capabilities, the risk of downtime to the university's finance and student management systems is eliminated. High-tech research can continue. The entire virtual infrastructure delivers peak and predictable performance and is supported, with the scale to accommodate future growth. Read More Log in to view content
