For campus IT administrators looking to transition their classroom and research computing needs to the cloud, there’s a new option available: Vocareum Campus Cloud. Unlike legacy campus IT solutions, which depend on physical on-premise computing resources and expensive hardware infrastructure, the new Vocareum Campus Cloud is easy to deploy, flexible, and highly scalable across a variety of user needs. Best of all, Vocareum Campus Cloud makes it possible to deliver best-in-class computing power via the cloud at a fraction of the cost of traditional campus IT computing solutions.
How Vocareum meets the needs of campus IT
The rapid advancement of cloud computing platforms is making the traditional approach to solving campus IT needs – building out costly on-premise IT infrastructure and spending capital for new computing hardware – look outdated and antiquated by comparison.
Vocareum Campus Cloud solves this problem by making it very easy to deploy and manage cloud resources. It is a flexible, scalable solution that can be used across a variety of use cases. For example, in a base case scenario, it can be used to provide Windows-based applications to users (both students and faculty members), across a variety of geographical locations. Instead of a centralized computing cluster, this is much more of a distributed system, in which computing power is delivered to the edges of a network and made available to all users wherever they may be.
Upgrade from the traditional computing lab to a cloud-based lab
Increasingly, campus IT administrators recognize that their learners and researchers need access to fast, robust IT solutions. Vocareum helps you upgrade your on-premise computer labs and deliver on the full promise of the cloud. With its “anytime, anywhere” functionality, Vocareum Campus Cloud helps you meet the computing needs of every IT stakeholder at your educational institution. Let us help you:
- Migrate Windows apps to the Cloud
- Deliver cloud budgets to departments, classes or research groups
- Schedule and manage HPC workloads
- Manage commercial licenses and software upgrades
Instead of investing in on-premise computing facilities that will soon be obsolete and are often general-purpose in nature, you get access to state-of-the-art computing resources via the cloud. Instead of worrying about building out the necessary computer infrastructure on a campus-wide basis, Vocareum handles everything for you within the cloud.
Visibility, Control, and Efficiency
With Vocareum Campus Cloud, all resources are fully managed, thereby eliminating any risk of runaway costs. In other words, you don’t have to worry about academic researchers in disciplines such as artificial intelligence or machine learning over-using their computing resources. It’s easy with Vocareum Campus Cloud to set up rules when certain resources have been exhausted.
And, rather than encountering delays and setbacks when researchers or faculty members lack the time or expertise to implement and manage large-scale computing resources, all of this happens behind the scenes, thanks to the world-class team at Vocareum.
For that reason, a number of the nation’s top research universities – including University of Washington and University of Notre Dame – have already begun to implement Vocareum cloud-based solutions. It’s much easier to help large groups manage their cloud computing resources when you use Vocareum.
