CASE STUDY
The University of Canberra ( UC ) slashed its IT infrastructure costs and optimised its cloud computing expenses using the Nutanix Cloud Platform .
Founded in 1967 , UC is dedicated to providing immersive student experiences focused on strong employment outcomes . It has a rich history of pioneering research and innovation with practical impact on community and is home to leading research centres and institutes including the Centre for Conservation Ecology and Genomics , Health Research Institute and more . Located in Australia ’ s capital , UC has more than 15,500 students , academics , researchers and professional staff .
While UC ’ s cloud / network architecture comprises several elements of the Nutanix Cloud Platform , the latest implementation was the NCM Cost Governance solution – one which Matt Carmichael , CIO , University of Canberra , said had an immediate impact .
“ We have a small IT team and the tool gives us a single pane of glass to monitor our usage across Azure , AWS , and Google Cloud , automatically alerting us to any ‘ gotchas ’ where spend might tick up and we don ’ t know why ,” he said . “ That has saved us a couple times . One instance was when our backups in Google Cloud weren ’ t being aged out appropriately , increasing our bills exponentially . We were able to quickly get it back in line with Nutanix technology .”
WE ’ RE ONLY JUST BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE FULL POTENTIAL OF AI AND THE
HANDS-ON RESEARCH UNDERWAY IN OUR NATION ’ S
CAPITAL THAT WILL SHAPE THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION .
