By transforming to state-of-the-art IT solutions, the
institution’s students can learn securely
Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced an
agreement with Saskatchewan Polytechnic to improve student and
faculty experience, and modernize its technology environment and
deliver enhanced flexibility with the HPE GreenLake edge-to-cloud
platform.
Sask Polytech, the province’s primary public institution for
post-secondary technical education and skills training and its only
polytechnic, has been a leader in innovative applied learning for
more than 60 years. Sask Polytech offers over 150 hands-on degree,
diploma and certificate programs to students at four campus
locations across the province of Saskatchewan.
Sask Polytech sought to transform IT deployment and consumption,
and selected an agile cloud operating experience so it could engage
computing resources quickly and efficiently on a pay-per-use
financial model, while having the security and protection of their
data on-premises.
“What we needed more than anything from our chosen solution was
flexibility to fit within our environment,” said Gwen Bourque,
associate vice-president for Information Technology Services at
Sask Polytech. “We also needed a strategic plan to upcycle and
replace our aged technology at the right moment in time. We’ve been
working with HPE in some capacity for more than a decade and chose
to work with our partners who know our needs to find efficient
solutions.”
With an enrollment of more than 11,000 students, Sask Polytech
wanted to utilize a system that would ensure business continuity
and a seamless migration of the applications and workloads onto the
new environment. In addition, with some courses using
graphic-intensive workloads, consistency in high availability was
imperative. The HPE GreenLake platform offered an edge-to-cloud
experience that would allow for the flexibility the team knew they
would need. Additionally, using HPE SimpliVity to transition from
Hyper-V to VMWare, the team is already seeing improvements to their
VDI workloads for remote education.
“Supporting new training models and heavy computing demands
stemming from AI, CAD (Computer-Aided Design), GAM (Generalized
Additive Models) and graphic-intensive applications is an area that
will continue to grow in demand for countless areas of study, and
ensuring high availability and continuity as systems transition
over time is imperative to ensure learning, testing, reporting and
grading experience no disruptions,” said Andrew Perchaluk,
Hybrid-IT Enterprise Architect, Hewlett Packard Enterprise. “We are
thrilled to bring the best mix of resources to Sask Polytech to
meet their needs in an energy-efficient, end-to-end solution that
will impact not only students and faculty, but a significant
percentage of workers in the province across many vital
industries.”
Powerland, an HPE Partner with more than 30 years of expertise
in planning, deploying, supporting and managing technology
solutions for organizations, worked with Sask Polytech to determine
their needs and priorities, and proposed the HPE GreenLake and HPE
SimpliVity solutions the school is now using.
“Ultimately, we determined Sask Polytech wanted to provide an
improved student and faculty experience through high availability
and enhanced security, while decreasing overall costs. HPE
GreenLake was the best solution for them,” said Chris MacDonald,
Technical Account Manager, Powerland Computers Canada. “And with
this solution, we’ve been able to increase distance education
opportunities for students, which has become vital for education
institutions over the past few years.”
