A regional first
The anytime, anywhere facility is accorded optimum support through the data 
center, which deploys an SDN architecture, making QU the first educational 
institution in the Middle East to possess this network resource. The facility 
enriches students’ opportunities to be better engaged in the academic learning 
experience and be motivated towards success. 
“Providing the underlying infrastructure to support research and development 
initiatives is in keeping with the institutional commitment to be a leading 
partner in contributing to the country’s vision of becoming a knowledge-based 
economy,” Moore said. “This IT foundation is critical to ensure the success 
of these initiatives and to contribute to enhancing continuous economic 
development of the country.”
Ease of integration and deployment
Cisco ACI technology and F5 Networks technology are deployed at QU to 
manage its network and application services from a central management 
interface, the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC).
According to Ashfaq, “From an integration perspective, the data center has 
benefited from this technology as it has simplified our operational system. 
The seamless integration will enable us to meet the university’s growing 
needs in terms of meeting service and security requirements.”
The university has also eliminated IT silos and automated processes that 
reduce the provisioning and deprovisioning time from 10 days to 1 day, which 
gives students and faculty to access new applications faster and serves to 
enhance the teaching-learning experience.
Finding a balance
Cisco ACI provides QU with more granular control over security policies, 
while delivering more learning options to its students.
