Case Study: Totton College achieves a high-performing, scalable, cost-effective IT infrastructure with NetApp FlexPod Express

Totton College Works With NetApp to Enhance its IT Infrastructure Using FlexPod Express

Totton College, a further-education provider near Southampton, needed to upgrade its IT to meet students’ expectations and support growing workspace and data‑storage demands. With tight public-sector budgets and a requirement to implement changes quickly and with minimal disruption, the college sought a fit‑for‑purpose, cost‑effective solution that would deliver reliable day‑to‑day service.

The college selected NetApp FlexPod Express, a prevalidated Cisco/NetApp architecture delivered and prebuilt by partner CSPI and running VMware, enabling rapid onsite installation before term started. The result is a high‑performing, easy‑to‑manage, and scalable platform that saved deployment time, met budget constraints, and gives Totton the confidence and capacity to respond to future growth and BYOD/data demands.
