Case Study: Université Laval achieves faster on-demand storage and backup services with ESI Technologies

Université Laval - Customer Case Study

Université Laval, one of the largest online French universities, needed a more reliable, flexible, and easy-to-use multi-tier storage environment as its existing storage solution had become outdated. ESI Technologies helped the university support departments, faculties, students, and external organizations with on-demand storage and backup services as it expanded its hybrid cloud and virtualization strategy.

ESI Technologies implemented automated, self-service storage and backup capabilities using EMC VNX and Isilon storage, EMC Data Domain, Networker, and Avamar, all integrated with VMware vRealize Automation, vSphere, and NSX. The solution delivered multi-tier storage, robust backup and archiving, multitenant shared services, and 24/7 monitoring, enabling Laval University to provide storage much faster—often in seconds or minutes—while improving agility, flexibility, and time to market.
