Case Study: Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University improves weather research computing with OnX Enterprise Solutions

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Customer Case Study

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University partnered with OnX Enterprise Solutions to address growing computational, processing, and storage demands caused by an expanding volume of weather data and a rising number of users. As the university’s existing server environment became saturated, it needed more performance and computing power to support students and researchers in meteorology and related studies.

OnX Enterprise Solutions delivered a tailored solution using SUN x86 (AMD) and SPARC CMT servers, along with a try-before-you-buy approach to validate the systems in ERAU’s environment. The result was a more efficient platform that enabled the university to do more with less equipment and at a lower total cost of ownership, while improving support for research and educational objectives.
