With technology playing a more integral role in college and university operations, it is important to consider how to maintain systems in times of crisis. As a central part of many communities, colleges and universities can act as centers for information and refuge in times of crisis. The informed campus can play a role by using the power of portal technology for preparation and recovery within its community.
More and more we are reminded that unforeseen disasters and circumstances can hinder and or completely disrupt locally maintained enterprise systems that impact recovery time and impede communication when it is needed most. Even with warning and preparedness, the wrath of nature especially in the case of hurricanes and forecasted storms expose your institutions data and information systems to various degrees of risk which can further complicate disaster recovery. The benefits of CampusCruiser as an off-site portal service solution will protect your institutions data and allow the campus to stay live and connected.
Local IT control can be disabled for days, weeks, and months as evidenced by Hurricane Wilma and Katrina. CampusCruiser provides value in maintaining your campus connectivity even if the physical plant is non-operational. This will facilitate a speedier recovery coupled with your institutions emergency action plans which involves different mechanisms for response and recovery depending on the nature and location of the crisis.
