UniSIM opts for the cloud to save costs
The university says all its 11,000 students and about 200 full-time faculty and staff can access the cloud service, reports RAJU CHELLAM
UniSIM has opted for a cloud-based service called StaaS (Storage as a Service) and found that it cuts costs by a factor of 20.
'If we had decided to buy all the infocomm sources ourselves, it would have cost us about $146,400,' says Gary Teo, director of UniSIM's campus IT services. 'By opting for a StaaS model, our total cost was only $7,200. That's 20 times lower than if we had done it all ourselves.'
The university, which specialises in an open-style university education for adult learners, currently has 11,000 students, 800 staff and 10,500 alumni. All the students and about 200 full-time faculty and staff can access the cloud service.
UniSIM offers 40 academic programmes in four schools: School of Arts & Social Sciences, School of Science & Technology, School of Business, and School of Human Development and Social Services. |
