Infrastructure as a ServiceIndiana University’s “Intelligent Infrastructure”

• Approach• Started by consolidating several hundred servers down to

approximately twenty through the use of virtualization• Had such great success that they decided to employ the same

strategy to storage• Offered private cloud to university departments, schools, and regional

campuses

• Major Strategic Benefits• Disaster Recovery

• Servers were jeopardized during flooding at one regional campus; by

using a main campus private cloud service, data would be safe

• Scalability• Scales horizontally; as more departments, schools, and campuses

are added, central campus IT resources are not overloaded

• Savings• Less servers to maintain and replace; staff can focus on teaching and

research rather that worrying about managing servers
