Sharing an award

Congrats to Mount A and St. Thomas University for working together! Two of the smallest universities in Canada are sharing an award this month.

Mount A and STU recently won the national second prize for quality and productivity from the Canadian Association of Business Officers for our shared virtual server project that improves our technological services and reduces our environmental footprint.

This annual award recognizes universities for original and innovative projects. Together with STU, we are operating a single server room.

It's located at Mount A and is designed to reduce the number of computers and storage capacity required by the institutions.

As a result, we have saved money; reduced the university's energy consumption and space requirements; made the creation and repair of servers much ore efficient; and increased the quality of their services.
