Just as with every other sector, higher education grapples with mounds of data from countless sources that are critical to operations. This includes everything from student and faculty information to intellectual property related to research contracts. All of this critical data requires disaster recovery services to ensure that the data remains secure and accessible within and beyond the network edge.
