Education

AWS for universities and higher education

We help universities run teaching, research and corporate systems on AWS with a secure, well-governed foundation underneath. We hold the AWS Education Competency, and higher education is where most of our project work happens.

What we help with

Leaving the data centre

Ageing on-premises kit, rising energy costs and estates projects push systems towards the cloud, often on a fixed timetable.

Cyber resilience

Universities are a frequent target. Recovery plans need immutable backups and environments that can be rebuilt from code.

Specialist software anywhere

Students expect to run engineering, design and games software from their own devices, not only in a campus lab.

Research computing

Research groups need their own AWS environments quickly, with spending limits and the institution still in control.
