NetApp AltaVault Case Study:

The University of Wollongong

Craig Muller

Platforms Team Lead

University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia


About the University of Wollongong

• Founded in 1975

• Located in Wollongong, New South Wales

(about an hour south of Sydney)

• One of the world’s top research universities

• Over 32,000 students and 2,450 faculty

members

• A hub of high technology


The Challenge: An outdated backup and recovery solution

• Tape-based backup system

• Hours to retrieve data from offsite tape

storage location

• Tape can fail, be lost, or be damaged

• Some files could not be backed up to tape,

such as video lectures, due to file size

limitations


Why did the University of Wollongong choose

NetApp AltaVault and AWS?
