Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC is planning to start moving its core infrastructure workloads to the cloud out of two on-premises data centers by the second half of this year. Initially, the project will be a "lift and shift" migration according to the university, which will then look to re-architect its systems to be cloud native, serverless, and platform-oriented.
“This will modernize infrastructure and transform capabilities, service delivery, and digital culture at UniSC,” CIO Niranjan Prabhu said. “A robust architectural framework governs each migration phase to ensure alignment with strategic goals, continuity of critical services, and minimal disruption.”
Prabhu added: "This migration is a core pillar of our university-wide strategy for accelerating digital transformation across education, research, and operations that emphasise people-centric digital experiences, strong digital governance and stewardship, and modern, resilient infrastructure."
