- The budget needs of the school were met by moving from a CapEx model to an OpEx model.
- The district saw increased the performance of servers by using modern hardware and solid-state drives on just the resources requiring high IOPS.
- There was zero downtime for the school when moving to Cloud compared to an estimated 8 hours if upgrading the on-premise solution.
- The expense that was needed for running and cooling the former on-premise solution was eliminated.
