Nutanix has helped the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Studies (AIATSIS) digitize its collection of Indigenous Australian artefacts and cultural archive collection.
Housing more than one million examples of such materials, AIATSIS recognized the need for a more sophisticated way to manage large volumes of data – particularly when generated at remote locations.
“Timely, digitized access to the AIATSIS collection helps in bringing knowledge of the planet’s oldest living cultures before a much wider audience,” said Syed Jaffary, Deputy CIO, AIATSIS.
Core to the institute’s transformation was the implementation of Nutanix AHV and the Nutanix Kubernetes Engine to create an IT layer extending the performance of the AIATSIS core data center to remote edge locations and enabling large data sets to be analyzed faster and with more accuracy.
“Preserving more than 65,000 years of Indigenous history ensures we can celebrate the traditional owners of this land long into the future,” said Jim Steed, Managing Director ANZ, Nutanix.
“By digitizing its vast collection, AIATSIS is making these unique cultural artefacts accessible to schools and communities across Australia. This is vital as future generations can learn from those who first made this land their home.”
