Founded in 1900 the University of Birmingham was the UK’s first civic or ‘redbrick’ university. The University has a well-deserved reputation for innovation, including being the first to use a campus model and to incorporate a medical school, and regularly wins sector awards such as the Sunday Times’ University of the Year 2013-14.
The University operates a central data centre to support the computing applications used by its staff and 27,000 students across its campus. The data centre team turned to AIT to advise how they could run its data centre more efficiently and reduce its running costs.
