> What's more, universities already have this kind of infrastructure.
Ha!
While "technically" true, many (most?) university's (at least in Australia) have IT infrastructure that was last run competently sometime around when dinosaurs roamed.
Saying that from having worked at some (as a contractor), and having non-IT friends at others... whom are constantly frustrated about this stuff. :/
At least throw in some backups. And someone to manage them / know how they work. ;)
