Solving your infrastructure challenges
Demand for storage space on school networks is increasing by a factor of
4x each year.
Schools, colleges and universities are making increasing use of ICT in
teaching and learning. Numbers of computers are growing fast, ICT is now
being used across the whole curriculum and users are carrying out more sophisticated
tasks.
As the number of files on the network increases, so do there sizes,
as students work with multimedia files, presentation software, and graphic
rich software. As a result ICT educators face several challenges, the main
being maintaining and improving the performance of their ICT given their
budgetary limitations, the growth of ICT use and the logistics
of data storage and management.
Traditionally as a network reaches its limits the reaction has been to
add more servers, or to plug in external storage devices (Network Attached
Storage), without addressing the needs of the network as a whole. Both solutions
are short-term and expensive, often reduce network performance and introduce
underutilised new technology.
Ergo Infrastructure Services offer schools, colleges and universities an
answer that is cost-effective, makes best use of existing equipment and
is future-proof. Using Intel’s Storage Area Networking products and
the latest technologies, including server virtualisation, Ergo will save
you time and money. By ensuring that your network functions efficiently,
reliably and provides your network with masses of storage we can implement
a solution that's right for your needs both today and in the future.
