Deploy a Secure and Well-Managed InfrastructureChallenge
Is your institution overburdened with unnecessary complexity in your IT systems? Do you have disparate systems with their own associated management and maintenance overhead? An incompatible mix of systems and applications can be cumbersome and expensive to manage, security can be at risk, and it's difficult to scale to support new growth and emerging technologies. Microsoft Solution
By replacing disparate systems with a single centralised platform you can reduce the cost of management and gain vastly improved security and functionality.
The consistent standards, operating systems and application compatibility tools of the Microsoft platform create an environment that is easier and more cost-efficient to manage while enabling the deployment of innovative IT solutions, such as enhanced collaboration, student portals and help desks.
Microsoft also builds security, identity and trust into every layer of the computing environment, protecting student privacy, valuable data and your IT systems themselves.
Microsoft systems management and networking software can automate common networking and provide administrators with everything they need to establish, configure and manage a connected learning environment. Windows Server, combined with Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server, enables secure remote and wireless access.
Microsoft Systems Management Server provides for effective, scalable change and configuration management for desktops and servers and helps administrators to distribute security updates for all software across your institution. Potential benefits- Ensure anywhere, any time access to critical data and easy collaboration and communication between faculty, students and researchers.
- Centralised management and provisioning of desktops, servers and equipment, including the distribution of security patches, right across your institution reduces administration overhead and makes it easy to scale.
- Remote management capability saves travel time for IT staff; an established workflow enables direct problem-tracking.
Case Study | | "Replacing disparate systems with a single, centralised platform has made infrastructure management infinitely easier. Microsoft provided all the infrastructure we needed and more."
Michael Houlahan, Director, Information Technology, University of Western Sydney.

University Of Western Sydney The University of Western Sydney standardised on the Microsoft platform across its six campuses in order to reduce administration overhead. As a result, the IT staff were able to introduce identity management so that students and staff could access applications and resources on any computer across the university using just one password to authenticate.
