The intensive needs of staff, academics and students at Cranfield University were dependant on two ageing on-site data centres.

Modernisation had become crucial due to the existing infrastructure nearing its end of support. Another challenge to overcome was the amount of time and resource dedicated to managing the data centres.

CDW, in partnership with VMware, helped design a platform using VMware NSX improving efficiency, performance and flexibility for thousands of staff and students.

“Without a doubt, the pre-sales technical consultancy from CDW was streets ahead of everyone else who came in front of us. They listened to what we wanted and really understood our needs. The solutions they presented were technically sound and well articulated.”

Edward Poll, Head of IT Infrastructure at Cranfield University
