Case Study: Manor Lodge School achieves reliable, secure IT with Hitachi Vantara

Unleashing the Potential of Educational Technology with Infrastructure that Just Works

Manor Lodge School, an independent primary school in Hertfordshire, UK, needed to modernize its aging IT infrastructure after unreliable servers and storage were causing disruptions to teaching and administration. With outdated systems also limiting security improvements, the school turned to Hitachi Vantara for a more dependable foundation, including Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform (VSP) G350 storage and Lenovo servers.

Hitachi Vantara helped Manor Lodge School migrate safely to a modern infrastructure built around the VSP G350, with support from partners Qual and TD SYNNEX. The result was far greater resilience and security: the school reported only one outage since the move, and that was due to a local power cut rather than the new hardware. IT staff now spend less time firefighting and more time on strategic projects, while teachers and students can access resources reliably across campus.
