Unravelling the impact of technology in education

Safe Data Storage is committed to reducing the cost of cloud data storage for increasingly tight school budgets

Our world is changing fast and the way that we absorb, retain and share information is changing at an alarming rate. We expect everything to be available instantly and readily accessible with very little tolerance for delay or missing services.

We now have toddlers and young children using tablets or mobile phones from a very early age, which means that when they become students, they are more comfortable with technology than ever before. So, we shouldn’t be surprised with the increasing pressure on the education system to keep ahead of the game and the expectation to provide the most up-to-date and secure systems.

All students demand the high-quality provision of IT infrastructure that enables them to succeed and thrive through studying, they are used to navigating a series of applications or websites to get what they need and there is a genuine willingness for IT heads and principles to give them all they need to accomplish this. There is also an increasing pressure to ensure that the welfare of students is maintained at all times by providing analytics and trending of successes or issues. Add to this the increasing number of internal and external cyber-attacks from viruses or ransomware then the job to provide a safe, secure and leading-edge infrastructure is a real challenge.

The problem faced by the education sector is that it’s under increasing pressure from the government and is subject to cost cutting. With more data being produced, this increases the amount of compute, licencing, on premise or cloud storage. These institutions are being squeezed and have the unenviable task of trying to be supportive, creative and yet have to be financially considerate.
