When VU lately consolidated its 4 Melbourne CBD campuses into Australia’s largest vertical campus providing each larger training and vocational studying, from pathway applications by to PhDs, it was decided to make sure the brand new vertical campus was future-proofed from a expertise perspective. VU adopted a Cisco software-defined entry (SDA) structure to allow the digitisation of the Metropolis Tower recognising the brand new calls for that shall be positioned on underlying expertise platforms – primarily the community. These calls for embody the necessity for higher velocity, processing extra complexity, necessities for scalability (richer and extra distributed information) and improved safety. VU recognised that simply having the digital infrastructure in place was not adequate and launched into a sequence of proof of ideas at its Footscray Park campus to grasp the way it might finest use the facility of superior networks in innovating to:
- Enhance wayfinding and navigation providers for college students and workers

The outcomes of the proof of ideas and preliminary deployment of SDA on the new VU Vertical Campus might be discovered within the following case examine which demonstrates how VU continues to innovate with world main expertise to boost its scholar and campus expertise.
