Innovative Solutions to Global Challenges: Biruni University's Digital Success Story with DT Cloud

Biruni University, one of Turkey's leading educational institutions, educates more than 10,000 students in six faculties. With the practical training opportunity at Biruni University Hospital, students have the opportunity to reinforce their academic education in a practical way and start their career journey. With its comprehensive curriculum and practical opportunities, the university prepares its students for the health sector and increases the employability of its graduates. The hospital's vision is to be an innovative and leading healthcare institution not only in Turkey but also around the world and continues to work towards this vision.

Challenge

Modern healthcare and education institutions generate massive volumes of data daily. The challenge lies in unlocking its potential. Traditionally, these institutions operate in silos, with disparate systems and processes impeding data integration and insights. This data remains raw and unutilized without the right technology. Biruni University aimed to find a strong Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) solution to gather, handle, analyze, and present its continuously growing data streams. This solution needed to streamline healthcare delivery and enhance the educational experience. While patient data and student information are critical, ensuring secure and efficient access falls on the IT department. Biruni University aimed for ICT best practices that would empower collaboration, informed decision-making, and drive continuous improvement in healthcare and education delivery. Biruni University's ambitious 2019 expansion plan, designed to accommodate 6,000 additional students and ultimately reach a 15,000-student capacity, demanded a comprehensive upgrade of its ICT infrastructure. This was critical to support the growing demands on information sharing for students, faculty, and hospital staff.

Solution

Biruni University's longstanding partnership with DT Cloud paid off. They were already familiar with the ease of implementation and excellent support provided by DT Cloud. In 2019, they confidently chose to collaborate again to transform their infrastructure. Key objectives included upgrading the university data center, renewing the hospital's IT infrastructure, and future-proofing the new campus.
  • Data Center and Reliability
    FusionServer V5 Rack Servers and OceanStor Dorado All-Flash Storage with VMware virtualization now ensure lightning-fast, efficient, and reliable data backup and disaster recovery.
  • Hyper-Converged Cloud
    FusionCube for Cloud, FusionSphere, and FusionStorage Distributed Storage enabled a hyper-converged architecture, eliminating bottlenecks and significantly boosting performance. DT Cloud streamlined the migration of VMware-based applications to FusionSphere.
  • Network Optimization
    Scalable series switches were deployed to handle the exponential growth of data. A robust Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) solution ensures campus-wide, high-speed wireless access.

Result

Biruni University's strategic partnership with DT Cloud has delivered transformative results. DT Cloud's full-stack solution streamlined operations, ensuring seamless compatibility and smooth integration across systems. DT Cloud's rapid response ensured a seamless transition to remote learning through the deployment of a video conferencing infrastructure. This now allows 10,000 students to continue their studies remotely. Additionally, DT Cloud's expert training enhanced the skills of Biruni University's IT team. This led to improved network visibility and long-term IT sustainability. Now, free from the burdens of managing a complex ICT infrastructure, Biruni University can focus fully on its core mission: delivering world-class healthcare and education.
