Initiative Title | Highly Available (HA) IT Environment |
---|---|
Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | As per the recent IT Master Plan, the College has implemented a state of the art data center for which to conduct its academic and administrative work from. The data center has built in redundancy and backup facilities to avoid system failures. With the implementation of SSO, the College has a single channel to access priority systems. This means that if there are any interruptions to Internet access that are outside of the College's control, then access to priority systems will not be available until the cause of the interruption is rectified. Examples of Interruptions are as follows (but not limited to): - Frontier Internet Service Provider - Internet line goes down - BT Fire cause all power to BT being cutoff There needs to be accommodations in place to address the above and maintain a highly available IT/Service environment. |
Consequences of this initiative not being funded | In the event any catastrophic event, the College will be off-line and unable to conduct business until the interruption is rectified. In the event of any interruption, College students, faculty and staff will NOT be able to access any of the following: - SSO/Novell - Banner - Angel - Email - Document Imaging - Payroll |
