Technology in action: How a college uses FalconStor CDP to back up and continuously protect over 2TB of student data
Here is a great real-life example of how FalconStor CDP is being used to protect and back up growing volumes of data coming from student information systems, email, and other applications running on Microsoft Windows, Solaris, and Linux platforms.
Central Carolina Community College is a growing US college with more than 12,000 students and a data management load that is expected to double in the near future. The college’s IT team of 10 manages operations across three campuses and needs to provide uninterrupted application services for students and faculty. To manage the data center’s disaster recovery processes and ensure consistent data availability, the IT team protects its Datatel Colleague system and Novell GroupWise servers with three FalconStor CDP appliances. According to the school’s IT Director Tommy Holder, the solution “does what it is supposed to do with very little management or maintenance on our part. It just runs.”
Thanks to an open, scalable architecture, FalconStor CDP easily integrates with the college’s existing IT infrastructure and provides a solid foundation for data growth.
