Case Studies Education
Exeter College
With operations growing and student numbers continuing to rise, Exeter College’s existing IT infrastructure couldn’t keep up. The college migrated its mission-critical applications on virtual servers to Lenovo Flex System – a flexible, easily-scalable platform powered by Intel® Xeon® that delivers high levels of performance – ensuring that student services run uninterrupted even as demand rises.
Offerings: Flex System, Networking, Storage
Loras College
With hundreds of students and faculty members all trying to log on to Loras College’s systems at once every day, it’s little wonder its aging infrastructure couldn’t keep up. To boost performance and accelerate response times, the college deployed a software-defined infrastructure based on Lenovo System x3650 M5 servers and StorMagic SvSAN virtualization technology. Supported by the Lenovo solution, Loras College now delivers smooth, seamless IT services – helping to further students’ learning.

Carlsbad School District
To make it quicker and easier for students to access educational resources, Carlsbad Municipal School District wanted to virtualize the desktops in its school computer labs. By replacing its aging IT infrastructure with a flexible and powerful Lenovo Flex System solution, the district gained the performance and scalability needed to support a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) – improving access to learning materials.
Offerings: Flex System, Networking
Goal Academy High School
GOAL Academy High School delivers academic courses and learning material to students online. But without a centralized server infrastructure in place, the school found it increasingly difficult to react rapidly to curriculum changes, and often suffered from unplanned outages. To boost agility, performance and reliability, GOAL Academy implemented the Lenovo Converged HX3500 Series appliance with Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Platform software. Supported by the Lenovo solution, GOAL Academy can give students anytime access to up to date learning material – without interruption.

Technische Universität Darmstadt
The Need
For universities, staying at the forefront of academic research depends increasingly on providing scientists with access to powerful, flexible and energy-efficient supercomputing facilities.
The Solution
TU Darmstadt deployed a new supercomputing environment based on System x® iDataPlex® dx360 M4, System x3850 X5, System x3550 M4, System x3650 M4 and System x3750 M4 servers.
The Benefit
The solution offers 38 times the performance of the previous supercomputer, and allows administrators to cut time spent on routine management. High energy efficiency reduces total cost of ownership.
