Higher Education and Research Institutions face a unique mix of pressures: safeguarding students and staff, protecting sensitive research and personal data, supporting hybrid learning and maximising value from constrained budgets.
At UCISA26, our conversations will focus on practical, outcome-led solutions designed specifically for universities.
Supporting universities and research institutions with robust, layered security strategies aligned to sector best practice and regulatory expectations. From network security and access control to backup and recovery, we help protect users, data and critical services.
Enabling reliable, high-performance connectivity across lecture theatres, libraries, halls of residence, research facilities and remote sites. We support wired, wireless and SD-WAN environments designed for scale, availability and future growth.
Helping institutions plan, optimise and modernise on-prem, cloud and hybrid platforms to support research workloads, digital services and operational continuity.
OccuFi is a Switchshop solution that helps higher education and research institutions gain real-time, anonymised visibility into how campus spaces are actually used. Working seamlessly with existing HPE Aruba wireless infrastructure, OccuFi requires no additional sensors or hardware and helps estates, facilities, security and IT teams make better-informed decisions around space planning, cleaning schedules, campus safety, sustainability and cost-efficiency.
We take the time to understand your environment and objectives, offering recommendations tailored to your institution, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We work with a carefully selected group of technology partners to deliver secure, reliable and future-ready solutions for education organisations.
Fortinet: Provides integrated security and networking technologies that help organisations safeguard users, data and infrastructure while maintaining strong network performance. Through advanced threat intelligence and automated protection, Fortinet solutions support real-time visibility, rapid response and resilient, compliant digital environments.
HPE Aruba Networking: Supports secure, high-performing connectivity across campuses, offices and distributed environments. Using intelligent automation and zero-trust principles, Aruba helps organisations improve network reliability, enhance user experience and apply consistent security across wired, wireless and cloud-managed networks.
