Delivering value-added student services.

To offer every student a high-quality learning experience, Xuzhou Medical University issues cards that provide easy access to on-campus services, including contactless payments for food and drink. To help it develop and extend these digital services for its community of 16,000 full-time learners, the university moved its all-in-one card system from a traditional three-tier architecture to a cutting-edge hyperconverged infrastructure from Lenovo. Powered by four Lenovo ThinkAgile VX5520 appliances, the new platform delivers 35% cost-avoidance and a 50% reduction in data center footprint compared to an equivalent three-tier architecture, while offering 24/7 availability and 50% lower operational costs. In addition to standard warranty services, Xuzhou Medical University takes advantage of Lenovo Premium Services to access VIP support via a dedicated technical account manager and technical team. With Lenovo Premium Services, the university benefits from proactive services, increasing the sustainability and stability of its Lenovo solutions.
