Case Study: The University of Edinburgh reduces infrastructure costs and improves service levels with Rocket Software

The University of Edinburgh Reduces Infrastructure Costs While Improving Service Levels and Planning

The University of Edinburgh needed better visibility into a complex backup environment spanning enterprise and research systems, along with simpler capacity planning and less manual reporting. Its IT team was spending significant time collecting and plotting data across hundreds of servers and virtual machines, making it difficult to quickly answer basic backup-health questions. Rocket Software’s Rocket Servergraph was selected to help unify backup monitoring and reporting.

Rocket Software implemented Rocket Servergraph, giving the university a single view of backup management, automated real-time reports, and proactive trending for capacity planning. The solution was running within 15 minutes and producing trending reports within 24 hours, helping reduce manual work, speed troubleshooting, and redeploy staff to more strategic tasks. The university said it can now quickly identify issues, produce detailed reporting without hours of manual effort, and better protect its IT infrastructure.
