CAUDIT negotiates collective procurement agreements, provides professional development, undertakes projects and fosters collaboration through the sharing of ideas, experiences and best practice amongst its members. VMware says its agreement with CAUDIT enable member institutions to deploy VMware and "deliver virtualisation solutions at standard and low costs, regardless of a school's size." VMware claims that, for many institutions, the most compelling benefit of virtualisation is the time savings for delivering new applications for courses. "New application instances can be delivered in hours rather than weeks...Virtual machines can be created quickly and cheaply for development, testing or production work. This is particularly valuable in cases where the machines are required for short periods." Virtualisation also enable data centres to cut energy consumption: Griffith University in Queensland, is reported to have cut power usage in its data centres by approximately 50 percent. |
