Case Study: Stockport College achieves 200% faster enrollment processing and dramatic application performance with Condusiv Technologies' V-locity

Stockport College Deploys V-locity Improves Application Performance by 190% without Adding Hardware

Stockport College, a further-education provider in Greater Manchester with over 6,500 students, was hampered by legacy EMC and HP infrastructure, a reduced IT team, and frequent helpdesk calls. Slow application launches and system crashes during peak enrollment left processes taking up to 15 minutes, risking lost students and revenue.

After testing and rolling out Condusiv’s V-locity across 110 virtual servers, the college cut enrollment processing from 15 to 5 minutes, sharply reduced helpdesk incidents, and achieved significant application gains—SAP Crystal Server +522%, MIS enrollment +190%, and Exchange +85%—without adding hardware. V-locity’s I/O optimization and server-side caching (IntelliWrite/IntelliMemory), plus Benefit Analyzer reporting, improved throughput, response times, and IT visibility.
