Higher Education

Automate cloud operations across your entire campus — research, central IT, and academics.

Kion provides a comprehensive platform to support your institution’s research efforts, enhance the academic experience, and secure your institution’s overall cloud infrastructure.

Provide faculty and researchers with a catalog of preconfigured, multicloud resources tailored to their tasks, aligned with compliance requirements, and tracking against their budget.

Attribute spend to specific grants and funding sources, dynamically prioritizing the use of these funds. This approach ensures that grant funds are utilized first before tapping into the central IT budget.

Ensure continuous compliance by monitoring your environment against various standards and proactively setting Cloud Rules to prevent any drift from required specifications.

Kion’s unified multicloud operations platform enables well-architected, well-governed cloud adoption regardless of your IT operating model, whether centralized, decentralized, or a combination of the two.

Track your spending from each school/department, and enforce budgets for each team. Attribute that spend back to cost centers, and understand spend types with detailed reporting.

Map cloud permissions and roles back to users and groups within your identity providers like Microsoft Entra, Okta, and Shibboleth to provide federated least-privileged access across cloud accounts and cloud providers.

Kion provides guardrails and native access to cloud service providers, ensuring that faculty and students can gain hands-on experience with real cloud tools. Kion’s Cloud Rules restrict access to non-approved or costly services, creating a safe and controlled environment for cloud learning.

Simplify cloud access for your academic community with a self-service catalog of approved preconfigured resources. Kion’s platform enables faculty to quickly and easily set up learning environments while ensuring that students access only the resources necessary for their coursework — all within a secure and compliant framework.

Control your institution’s cloud costs with Kion’s budget enforcement capabilities. Automatically trigger cost controls when thresholds are reached, ensuring that students don’t accidentally run up the bill. Track spending and attribute it back to the appropriate cost center.
