关于客户
林林艺术设计学院是一所享有盛誉的学府，84 年来一直致力于培养来自世界各地的学生的创新精神。学院提供 11 个学科的美术学士学位 (BFA) 课程，包括广告设计、计算机动画、数字电影制作、游戏艺术与设计、平面设计、插图、室内设计、摄影与数字成像等。学院位于佛罗里达州墨西哥湾沿岸，每年吸引来自 48 个州和 60 多个国家的近 1,300 名学生。学院的校友被顶级艺术和设计公司大量聘用，包括苹果、迪士尼、梦工厂、Hallmark、索尼和 Target 等。2014 年，LinkedIn 将林林艺术设计学院在毕业生进入顶级设计岗位方面的排名列为第七位。
挑战
林林艺术设计学院面临着数据爆炸式增长的挑战，这是由高分辨率、基于数字文件的工作流程引起的。这产生了对可按需扩展的面向未来的存储的需求。该学院希望利用技术支持艺术作为一种工具，以便学生可以发挥创造力，而无需管理技术或处理工作中断。需要一个强大、可靠和透明的存储基础设施来满足学院的愿望，即让学生无缝访问他们的所有数字资产，无论平台或位置如何。该学院希望避免孤立存储的管理、访问难度、成本和复杂性。
解决方案
Ringling College 部署了 DDN 的 SFA10K 和 12K 存储平台，存储容量为 1.6PB，以满足其对业界领先的性能、密度和可扩展性的需求。在文件服务器级别，Ringling 部署了带有 ZFS 文件系统的 Oracle Solaris，因为团队认为它最能满足学院对强大而透明的性能的需求。学院实施了高性能 DDN 系统，以便学生登录到他们的家庭空间后可以立即访问他们的数字文件，无论平台或位置如何。每个家庭空间对学生来说都是立即可见的，这使得创建、共享、处理、回收和归档数字资产变得非常容易。许多学生将他们的家庭空间视为本地磁盘，因此当他们下次登录任何工作站或实验室系统时，他们的所有项目文件都随时可用。

Revolutionizing Medical Training in India: GSL Smart Lab and the LAP Mentor
The GSL SMART Lab, a collective effort of the GSL College of Medicine and the GSL College of Nursing and Health Science, was facing a challenge in providing superior training to healthcare professionals. As clinical medicine was becoming more focused on patient safety and quality of care, the need for medical simulation to bridge the educational gap between the classroom and the clinical environment was becoming increasingly apparent. Dr. Sandeep Ganni, the director of the GSL SMART Lab, envisioned a world-class surgical and medical training center where physicians and healthcare professionals could learn skills through simulation training. He was looking for different simulators for different specialties to provide both basic and advanced simulation training. For laparoscopic surgery, he was interested in a high fidelity simulator that could provide basic surgical and suturing skills training for international accreditation as well as specific hands-on training in complex laparoscopic procedures for practicing physicians in India.

IoT platform Enables Safety Solutions for U.S. School Districts
Designed to alert drivers when schoolchildren are present, especially in low-visibility conditions, school-zone flasher signals are typically updated manually at each school. The switching is based on the school calendar and manually changed when an unexpected early dismissal occurs, as in the case of a weather-event altering the normal schedule. The process to reprogram the flashers requires a significant effort by school district personnel to implement due to the large number of warning flashers installed across an entire school district.

Implementing Robotic Surgery Training Simulator for Enhanced Surgical Proficiency
Fundacio Puigvert, a leading European medical center specializing in Urology, Nephrology, and Andrology, faced a significant challenge in training its surgical residents. The institution recognized the need for a more standardized and comprehensive training curriculum, particularly in the area of robotic surgery. The challenge was underscored by two independent studies showing that less than 5% of residents in Italian and German residency programs could perform major or complex procedures by the end of their residency. The institution sought to establish a virtual reality simulation lab that would include endourological, laparoscopic, and robotic platforms. However, they needed a simulator that could replicate both the hardware and software of the robotic Da Vinci console used in the operating room, without being connected to the actual physical console. They also required a system that could provide both basic and advanced simulation training, and a metrics system to assess the proficiency of the trainees before they performed surgical procedures in the operating theater.

Edinburgh Napier University streamlines long-distance learning with Cisco WebEX
• Geographically dispersed campus made in-person meetings costly and inconvenient.• Distance-learning programs in Malaysia, India, and China required dependable, user-friendly online tools to maximize interaction in collaborative workspaces.• Virtual learning environment required a separate sign-in process, resulting in a significant administrative burden for IT staff and limited adoption of collaboration technology.

8x increased productivity with VKS
Before VKS, a teacher would spend a lot of time showing a group of 22 students how to build a set of stairs within a semester of 120 hours. Along with not leaving the teacher much time to provide one-on-one support for each student to properly learn carpentry, it also left a considerable amount of room for error. Key information would be misinterpreted or lost as the class was taught in the typical show-and-tell way.

Scalable IoT Empowering GreenFlex's Sustainable Growth
GreenFlex, a company that supports sustainable development, decarbonization, and energy efficiency, faced several challenges in its quest to expand its business. The company needed to deploy a robust and sustainable IoT technology to support its growth. It was crucial for them to monitor and control devices at customer sites in a safe and reliable manner. They also needed to integrate devices across a range of communication protocols and gather and act on data to meet efficiency targets. GreenFlex had previously built IoT capabilities into its digital platform, GreenFlexIQ, to monitor and manage customer sites remotely. However, they soon realized that they needed a new platform to support their ambitions. They needed a platform that could scale to connect more devices for production management and make it easier for the operations team to manage devices in the field.
