Bielefeld University seeks recognition for its modern IT infrastructure
A Perle case study
The Bielefeld University IT Service Center (BITS) aspires to have its IT network infrastructure recognized as one of the most modern data centers in Germany. A key factor to achieving this goal will be measured by their ability to maintain uninterrupted user access to the systems, applications, and information on the network.
Like other corporations and education institutions with distributed IT environments, the University has equipment dispersed in multiple “tech rooms” throughout the campus. This means on-site management of the network is complicated and time-consuming if IT staff must physically be in front of the server, switch, or application that requires attention.
