UNIVERSITY RESEARCH

Smart solutions for clever minds

The Challenge:

Kablamo was engaged by one of Australia's leading universities. The computing requirements across the University's various R&D departments were exceeding their current capacity, creating both bottlenecks and quiet periods. Academic workloads are uneven, with high peak loads that stretch resources and then periods of time when infrastructure is largely unused. The University needed a solution that was cost-effective, easy to use, and fit within their existing practices — without requiring researchers to be experts in cloud technology.

Key Stats

  • 80 — Researchers onboarded
  • 16 — Research departments
  • Scalable — On-demand compute
  • Ongoing — Product Care support

Key capabilities:

  • Continuous delivery pipeline with custom functionality
  • Complete AMI building pipeline for research environments
  • Custom IAM roles and policies for secure access
  • Agile delivery training for University staff
The Approach

Kablamo was engaged to deploy AWS Service Workbench (SWB), allowing the University to assess how it could be used by research departments. From an initial proof of concept, it was quickly moved into production.

The Results

Kablamo provided highly supportable and scalable solutions for the University's research groups, giving them clear reporting and cost management visibility which was previously absent.

Looking Forward

This approach has resulted in an uplift in the internal DevOps team's capabilities and processes, along with developing the University's knowledge of Agile methodologies. Kablamo continues to provide ongoing Product Care support as new discoveries await.
