RDX QuikStor - Data Management for Education Environments
Easy to use data backup - solutions for educational institutions
Data management is an essential component of daily business. Overland-Tandberg makes it easy.
Whether in small elementary schools or larger high schools, in big colleges and
universities or other educational institutes, data management is an unpopular
but essential task. IT is an important element in nowadays educational environments.
Student data like examination results, grades, certificates and even
teacher-related data resides on computer systems. Also education materials,
lecture scripts and tests are stored electronically.
Important data needs to be stored, secured, archived and sometimes transported
to other institutions. As this is really not necessarily an important component
of the daily business of teachers, instructors or professors, IT equipment must be
easy to use, reliable and integratable into any computer system.
Why backup and archiving are important
Data protection at educational institutes is critical. If a student’s history is missing,
this could be detrimental to their future. Data loss could mean you can’t get
it back from anywhere. From a hard disk crash to a virus attack, from an operating
system failure to system damage, data loss could happen any time for many
reasons.
In addition, student data needs to be archived many years after graduation.
This causes constant data growth and requires more and more cost intensive
disk space. To avoid this, data should be archived to a removable storage
media. Archiving frees up valuable disk space and reduces the amount of data
which needs to be managed at once. So, as a best practice, student data
should be archived immediately after they graduate or leave the institution.
RDX QuikStor appliances - ruggedized, removable and simple
Overland-Tandberg RDX QuikStor appliances simplify backup, archiving and
data transportation tasks for either students or educators. With its rugged
design, it’s reliable, fast, easy to use, and tough enough to cope in busy and
often challenging environments. As many educational institutions do not have
dedicated IT staff, the simplicity of RDX QuikStor also enables the less experienced
user to perform daily IT operations.
The USB port powered RDX QuikStor appliance is a removable disk solution
that consists of a dock and a disk cartridge. The cartridge is built with a rugged
design and requires no special care. It can withstand drops from up to 1 meter
on a concrete floor. The cartridge has a sealed interface so dirt and debris
can’t get inside, and it has static-proof capabilities.
