The University of Northern Iowa (UNI) chose Sun™ servers and storage as the
foundation stones for its crucial first phase of its ambitious campus-wide
information systems upgrade. In this phase UNI replaced homegrown applications
running on an IBM mainframe that ran the
University’s human resources
and financial system. This complicated system of upgrades and workarounds
was replaced by a sleek and powerful combination of Sun™ servers running
on Oracle 8i database with 11i applications that created a system
custom-tuned to meet UNI’s current and future needs. The benefits were
enhanced even further by an array of Sun Ray™ thin client appliances
that were distributed around the campus to provide easy and convenient
information access on a 24/7 basis. Choosing Sun™ in partnership with
Open Technologies allowed UNI to ensure future compatibility while gaining
a state-of-the-art enterprise system that was easy to install and came in on time, and under budget.
