Challenge

Mackillop Catholic College faced significant challenges with its traditional 3-tier architecture, which had become outdated and inflexible. The aging infrastructure could neither scale efficiently to meet varying demands nor provide the level of resiliency and disaster recovery (DR) needed for a modern educational environment.

The school’s leadership recognised the necessity to modernise their infrastructure to ensure seamless operations and improved educational outcomes, prompting them to explore innovative solutions.

Solution

Leveraging the existing strong relationship with Mackillop Catholic College, ASI Solutions collaborated with HPE to design and implement a cutting-edge Azure Stack Solution on HPE ProLiant. This innovative approach provided the college with a hybrid cloud environment, seamlessly extending their on-premises capabilities to the cloud.

HPE Azure Stack

The new infrastructure addressed the immediate need for modernisation and offered enhanced scalability, while significantly reducing operational costs. By enabling the school to adjust resources based on demand, the Azure Stack solution helped bridge on-premises environments and the cloud, enabling the college to innovate while ensuring data protection, and regulatory compliance.

Results

The implementation of Azure Stack on HPE future-proofed Mackillop Catholic College’s IT infrastructure. The college now enjoys a modern, resilient, and scalable environment with the ability to burst out to the cloud as needed. This flexibility has significantly improved the school’s disaster recovery capabilities, ensuring greater operational continuity and reducing downtime.

Partnering with ASI Solutions and HPE has not only modernised our infrastructure but has also given us the flexibility and resilience we needed. Working with ASI has been a seamless and collaborative experience, as we designed a solution together based on our current and future needs. This partnership has also resulted in a reduction of up to 30% in total cost of ownership (TCO) over five years, making it an even more valuable investment for our College.
