Also, data restore times have been slashed from up to two hours to as little as 15 minutes, boosting business resilience. The solution backs up data from essential applications, including the university’s learning management system, ERP and examination portal. Using Veeam Backup & Replication, the university can replicate data across its entire physical and virtual environment for the first time. Veeam ensures uninterrupted access to innovative educational resources and essential data 24/7, for students, faculty and staff. Parul University selected Veeam Backup & Replication Enterprise Plus to deliver exceptional quality education, transform data protection strategy and ensure continuity of service for the organization’s new online offerings. In particular, we wanted to ensure non-stop access to our examination portal, where students take evaluations weekly, quarterly and annually.” We couldn’t afford to lose or delay access to any data as that would threaten the quality of education that we provide and our reputation for excellence. “We saw our data double from 100PB to 200PB in 12 months during the pandemic. We use digital learning spaces, including Google classroom, Microsoft Teams, Jitsy and Zoom, to extend education to students wherever they are, whenever they want,” said Snehalkumar Darji, chief technology officer at Parul University. “At Parul University, learning is not limited to the classroom. The explosion of digital data doubled the university’s storage demands - and it began looking for a new data protection solution that could protect its fast-growing data and enable reliable access to online services for students working remotely.
However, during the pandemic the university, like many others across the globe, experienced a complete switch to online learning. Parul University has been continually innovating and launching new digital services for its 28,000 students, to build on its position as the leading private university in Gujarat, India. Veeam provides Parul University with uninterrupted access to an online examination portal for 28,000 students, helps increase the backup success rate to almost 100% from 80% and contributes to the university’s competitive edge by saving the IT department 20 hours per month, which is now invested in driving IT innovation in other areas.
