Modernize Higher Education Spaces With IT Solutions by APC

Is your campus struggling to meet the demands of today, let alone adapt to the changes of tomorrow? The pressure for university and college campuses to modernize their IT Infrastructure has become unescapable. Technology is now absolutely critical to the landscape of Education, yet the reality remains that most IT teams are left working with outdated infrastructure and computer systems.

In the eBook, The Case For Modernizing IT Infrastructure in Higher Education, our partner APC provides in-depth coverage of the trends driving modernization in Higher Education facilities, as well as the benefits and how operators can get started.

Considering that the data centers being used within most Education facilities are out-of-date, it's clear why the experiences of students and faculty are often times so annoying - I mean, why won't the campus Wi-Fi just work, for once? 

Particularly in Higher Education, IT teams are having to cater endlessly to uptime and asset management, which is no easy feat when the assets in question are scattered across a vast campus. Some demands that challenge campus infrastructure pose include: 

• Large-Scale Online Learning: Since the COVID-19 pandemic, learning environments will never be the same.
• Transformative Learning Tools: Immersive learning experiences test the agility, flexibility, and scalability of IT infrastructure.
• Demand For 99.999% Reliability: Every person on campus owns multiple devices for which constant connectivity is expected. 
• Supercomputing Capabilities: In the race for recognition, colleges are leaning into the competitive edge of supercomputing.
• Growing Campus-Wide IoT: Aspirations to have 'smart campuses' have colleges expanding connectivity where they can.
• Occupancy Variation: The comings and goings of students and staff on campus is always changing and hard to predict.

So how should Educational facilities scale infrastructure? 

The time has come for universities, colleges, and campuses to evolve. With the Higher Education market transforming as it is, it's critical for facilities to have a trusted, innovative partner to work with.
