Sheffield Hallam University needed to quickly pivot when COVID-19 shuttered its campuses in the middle of an ongoing datacentre migration. The sudden loss of these rooms as a student resource was a chief concern for the university, as many students lacked the funds to purchase their own high-end computers. 

The Outcome: In just 12 weeks, Sheffield Hallam University rolled out the largest Azure Lab Services client in the United Kingdom. Now, having broken the shackles of ongoing maintenance and updates, Sheffield Hallam is poised to create a truly formidable educational space in the cloud.

The feedback: “We’ve certainly got full use out of the scalability Azure offers. In the past few months, we’ve gone from hundreds to thousands of students using and relying on Azure Virtual Desktop for their classwork.” Simon Briggs - Director of Digital Technology
