Over 90% of educational institutions in the United States have adopted digital learning platforms and student information systems (SIS). The volume of digital educational data is rapidly increasing, with the global EdTech market projected to reach $404 billion by 2027.
The average cost of educational data management solutions is $6.1 million, underscoring the need for systems and technologies to protect sensitive student and institutional information.
Outdated software and hardware in educational settings are 30% more vulnerable to cyber attacks due to the inability to apply timely patches and updates.
A staggering 64% of universities do not test their disaster recovery (DR) plans at least annually.
Central Data Storage provides industry-leading recovery time objectives (RTOs) and recovery point objectives (RPOs). Our solutions include malware-free recoveries, which prevent reinfection by failing over to recovery points that have been thoroughly scanned and remediated for vulnerabilities.
With our Instant Restore technology, you can quickly restore large volumes of data, ensuring that educational activities are never disrupted. This technology allows your cloud backup for education to start immediately as a Windows or Linux virtual machine directly from storage, while your data is seamlessly migrated in the background.
Our cloud-based backup solutions scale effortlessly to manage and protect large volumes of educational and administrative data. With flexible, cost-effective hybrid education cloud backup and archive options, you can easily manage on-site and off-site backups, accessible from anywhere, at any time.
Central Data Storage’s continuous data protection ensures that no in-progress work, whether it’s student assignments or administrative tasks, is lost. Our agent monitors all changes made within defined applications and continuously backs them up, ensuring that your data is always current and secure.
Central Data Storage offers disaster recovery solutions designed specifically to support educational applications, seamlessly complementing our FERPA-compliant backup services. With our solution, you can ensure faster recoveries, streamlined management, and unified protection against unforeseen incidents, safeguarding your critical student and institutional data at all times.
Our Advanced Disaster Recovery cloud solution is fully FERPA-compliant, ensuring that sensitive student and institutional data is handled with the utmost care. Your educational institution can now achieve complete data resilience without compromising on student privacy or regulatory compliance.
All backed-up data is encrypted to render it useless to cybercriminals. Our robust encryption helps you avoid costly regulatory penalties and maintain compliance. Enhanced compliance reporting with Data Protection Maps provides detailed tracking of data storage, protection status, and critical files, ensuring that your institution meets all necessary regulations.
We centralize your anti-malware protection and enable full disk cloud backup for education scans from a single, centralized location. By detecting and remediating malware such as ransomware, we ensure that your backups are always clean and malware-free, providing peace of mind for your data restoration needs.
Central Data Storage solution supports over 30 different workload types through a single, user-friendly console. This flexibility makes it easier for your IT team to manage diverse educational applications and systems while reducing overall protection costs.
Data loss in schools and universities can lead to significant consequences, including compromised student records, disruptions in learning, legal liabilities, financial penalties, and damage to the institution’s reputation. It may also result in non-compliance with regulatory requirements such as FERPA.
Educational data should be backed up regularly, with the frequency depending on the institution’s specific needs. Typically, daily backups or more frequent backups for critical systems are recommended. Regular backups are essential to ensure data is recoverable in case of a failure, breach, or other incidents.
Data interoperability is crucial in education because it allows different systems and platforms to share and improve student information seamlessly. This enhances the quality of education, reduces administrative errors, and ensures that students receive timely and coordinated services across various departments.
Encryption secures educational data by converting it into a coded format that is unreadable to unauthorized users. During backup and recovery, encryption ensures that even if data is intercepted, it cannot be accessed or tampered with, thereby protecting student privacy and compliance with regulations like FERPA.
On-site backups are stored locally within the educational facility, offering quick access and recovery. Off-site backups are stored in a different location, providing additional protection against disasters that might affect the primary site. Each method has its advantages, and combining both can offer comprehensive protection.
