Hybrid-Architecture Strategy Includes Data Migration to AWS for All 23 Campuses<\/h4>\n

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., Dec. 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Delphix, an industry-leading data company for DevOps, and Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS), a global IT solutions company, today announced that they have accelerated California State University\u2019s (CSU) digital strategy by providing quick and secure access to data to support student application development.<\/p>\n

The nation\u2019s largest four-year public university can now provide its 23 campuses with data on-demand to implement their own digital strategies. This kind of rapid access has enabled software engineers at the campuses to quickly develop innovative applications to enable Graduation Initiative 2025, an ambitious project that aims to increase graduation rates while eliminating opportunity and achievement gaps. The project also includes applications that enable students to check their grades, financial aid, graduation status, etc.<\/p>\n

The initiative is a part of the university\u2019s larger hybrid architecture strategy aimed at improving graduation rates, student experience and satisfaction, and eliminating equity gaps in graduation rates.<\/p>\n

Hybrid architecture Strategy<\/u>
\nUnisys enables CSU to leverage the Delphix DevOps Data Platform to accelerate and simplify its Hybrid-Architecture enablement. The platform\u2019s ability to easily spin up, refresh, and tear down private and public cloud-based data environments dramatically enhances the university\u2019s application delivery pipeline.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing Delphix and Unisys to implement our hybrid architecture strategy allows us, for the first time, to create a unified and secure data lake, populated daily with data from all 23 campuses. This makes the data easily accessible and quickly consumable at a large scale. Our data analysts, data scientists, and developers can now drive faster innovation and proactively establish student support programs to improve graduation rates,\u201d said Michael Berman, CIO at CSU.<\/p>\n

The university\u2019s hybrid architecture strategy includes data migration from an on-premise Common Management System (CMS) to Amazon Web Services (AWS), across all campuses. The CMS serves nearly 500,000 students and 56,000 faculty and staff, and is critical to everything from student enrollment, student management, scheduling, and registration to human resources, financials, and employee compensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are pleased CSU and Unisys selected AWS as a strategic cloud provider to power its digital transformation,\u201d said Kim Majerus, Vice President, US Education, State and Local Government at AWS. \u201cMoving to AWS can help CSU become more agile and empower them to use data more strategically to gain valuable insights that will improve the student experience. In addition, it can help the university system scale faster, reduce technical debt, realize cost savings, and manage operations more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n

Impact on Cost and Efficiency<\/u>
\nDelphix and Unisys work together with CSU to help the university reduce costs and improve operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

Using Delphix and Unisys, CSU has saved over $4.5M per year and avoided future costs of over $7M per year in data storage expenditures, thus freeing up resources to fund innovation. The initiative has also significantly improved CSU\u2019s productivity measures.<\/p>\n
