Advancing knowledge in land-based industries

To implement an ambitious lecture capture project, Writtle University College deployed Lenovo DM5000H storage appliances and Lenovo ThinkSystem SR650 V2 servers.

Customer Problem

Introducing new video capabilities would overwhelm existing data storage capacity, bringing this innovative educational project to a halt.

Lenovo Solution

With help from Getech, WUC deployed Lenovo storage and Lenovo servers alongside VMware vSphere® software, supporting its virtualization and consolidation IT strategy.

Business Impact

Using efficient, scalable, high-performance storage and severs, WUC enabled high-definition capture of demonstrations, presentations, and dissections, helping students flourish.

“Lenovo is by far the most cost-effective solution for higher-education providers looking to upscale their systems.”

Richard Brotherton, IS&T Operations Manager (Development & Infrastructure), Writtle University College
