Case Study: HAMK achieves simplified VM management with Snow Commander from Flexera

HAMK Häme University of Applied Sciences manages 1,400+ VMs with Flexera Snow Commander

HAMK Häme University of Applied Sciences, a higher education institution in Finland, faced challenges managing its complex VMware virtual machine infrastructure for student labs. The high administrative overhead from repeatedly deploying and fixing VMs damaged by students was straining IT resources. To solve this, HAMK implemented Flexera's Snow Commander platform.

Flexera's Snow Commander provided a self-service portal for students to request, delete, and manage their own VMs on-demand, significantly reducing the IT team's manual workload. The solution centralized management and provided comprehensive monitoring, enabling HAMK to run over 1,400 VMs cost-effectively while offering students greater flexibility for their coursework.
