Dakota State University (DSU), a leader in AI, quantum computing, and cybersecurity education, has transformed its IT infrastructure with Cisco to support its mission of innovation and industry collaboration. By standardizing on Cisco’s solutions, DSU replaced its legacy systems with the Cisco UCS X-Series Modular System, boosting performance, efficiency, and security. Cisco ACI and Nexus 9000 Series switches enhance network resilience and resource availability. These technologies power DSU’s operations while also enabling hands-on student learning through virtual sandboxes and providing secure access to DSU’s cyber ranges for academic, government, and industry partners.
In this video, hear from Shawn Jaacks, CIO of Dakota State University, on how the university is leveraging these innovative technologies to enhance the learning experience, streamline operations, and prepare students for a tech-driven future.
