University Adopts Hybrid IBM‑VMware Cloud

Key Points

  • The university’s legacy systems were hard to upgrade and its on‑premise data centre lacked the speed and capacity needed for growth.
  • Implementing IBM Cloud with VMware allowed a hybrid model (80 % public, 20 % private) and set a five‑year goal to shift about 90 % of workloads to the public cloud.
  • IBM’s solution lets the university quickly move servers and virtual machines across global data centres, providing fast delivery and low latency.
  • Using NSX with vSphere delivers the needed flexibility, scalability, and security, with tools such as Spectrum Data Protector and Spittoon safeguarding the infrastructure.
  • The strong partnership with IBM Cloud enables simple, safe VM migrations, giving the CIO confidence and peace of mind.
