Overview
Imagine trying to study for a big exam without reliable access to digital program materials. Disheartening doesn’t even begin to cover it. That’s why Germany’s largest university by student enrollment, IU International University of Applied Sciences (IU), is set on providing highly reliable service to its more than 100,000 students. The university wants to provide a modern education experience that makes it easy for students to access materials and get clarity on assignments, anytime and anywhere. And while it grows to meet global demand for high-quality education, the university wants to verify that it scales securely and sustainably.
IU kicked off a migration to Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2020 to further its mission of improving access to education for everybody, everywhere, at any time. Data security and compliance were also major reasons for the migration. “Speed, flexibility, scalability, security, compliance, and reliability are the biggest benefits of our migration to AWS,” says Kevin Fischer, head of DevOps at IU. Using AWS, the university has been certified as carbon neutral by TÜV SÜD for 3 consecutive years, making IU one of the world’s first climate-neutral distance learning universities.
