our cloud. This data is all backed up locally in our Data Center as well as in our partners’
Data Centers on both coasts.”
What led KASB to use the Network Plus Data Center? Weseman replies, “As an organiza-
tion with growing data needs, KASB recognized the value of flexibility. Disaster recovery,
bandwidth requirements, security, and the high cost of hardware all contributed to KASB
making this move. By having our data stored at the Networks Plus Data Center, we’ve
added an additional layer of security and confidence.”
In addition to cost efficiency, Weseman cites another benefit of working with Networks
Plus: “KASB receives expert and timely service from the Networks Plus staff. I know I
can count on them.”
Better Education, Better Life
Because KASB has outsourced most of its IT and data storage activities to Networks Plus,
the organization is able to focus more resources on its mission to improve education in
Kansas. As summarized on
www.kasb.org, “Education is the most important factor in
economic and social well-being as measured by income, employment, crime, and social
services. To improve the economy and quality of life in our state and communities, Kansas
students must be able to compete with the best-educated employees, innovators, and
leaders in the world, knowing that other states and nations are also striving to improve.”
While there’s much work to be done, Kansas has a solid foundation for success. The
website shares, “Our education outcomes— test scores, high school completion, college
readiness and completion—have never been higher. However, we can’t afford to let up.
When we consider national and global competition, the answer is clearly that we must
continue to improve.”
Given the rising costs of in-house employees, it made
sense to secure a 24/7 model of technical support. In
short, we are leaner and more nimble as a result of
using Networks Plus.”
