Case Study: Forsyth County Schools achieves uninterrupted digital learning with Technology Integration Group and VMware

Forsyth County Schools Offers Uninterrupted Digital Learning With Vmware Solutions

Forsyth County Schools, a fast-growing K-12 district in Georgia, needed a more resilient and scalable technology foundation to support up to 1,800 new students each year, more than 80,000 devices connecting daily, and always-available digital learning tools. The district turned to Technology Integration Group (TIG) for help modernizing its VMware-based environment, including vSphere and disaster recovery capabilities.

Technology Integration Group recommended and helped deploy a stretched VMware vSAN cluster on Dell EMC ReadyNodes, upgrading the district to VMware vSphere 6.5 and vSAN 6.6 with a DR site 10 miles away. The result was near-instant failover, uninterrupted learning during outages or maintenance, and greater flexibility for BYOT and virtual desktop access; the all-flash setup also saved more than 13TB of capacity through deduplication and compression.
