Solutions: Higher Education
Stoneware's private cloud technology is ideal for higher learning institutions that are struggling to deliver a growing number of IT applications and services to an increasingly fluid end user environment.
Stoneware's webNetwork creates a private cloud framework by which all IT applications and services can be securely delivered to both faculty and students regardless of device or location. For the 21st century and beyond, private cloud computing will become the foundation for delivering information technology to end users, redefining everything from the desktop to the data center.
Aggregation
Most higher learning institutions do not suffer from a lack of technology. On the contrary, they often struggle organizing, delivering, and securing access to the numerous applications and services they already possess. Each time a new application, service, or portal enters the environment, IT must recreate a delivery scheme for securing and deploying the technology to the end user. Before long, isolated islands of automation are springing up everywhere confusing end users with multiple access methods, separate account credentials, and separate management schemes.
Stoneware's webNetwork simplifies this environment by creating a single private cloud framework from which all end users access IT applications and services. Users accessing the private cloud will be presented with a consistent virtual web desktop that provides secure access to all IT resources based on the user’s identity. Whether a student is at home, in the lab, or at the library, webNetwork will provide the same consistent virtual web desktop of applications and services provided by IT. Accessing applications, portals, files, documents, reports, etc. will be seamless for both students and faculty from anywhere with just a web browser.
