Protecting and Preserving Research Data in a Remote Arctic Environment With Software Solutions From Symantec and Advanced Internet Security

Tags:
infrastructure management

Overview A scientific research organization on Alaska's remote North Slope, Barrow Arctic Science Consortium (BASC) needs to protect and preserve data generated by visiting researchers. Tight budgets, geographical isolation, and harsh weather mean that the two-person IT staff must protect its infrastructure with no local support resources. Visiting researchers add to the challenge by connecting their private, unprotected laptops to the consortium's networks. BASC relies on Symantec and its business partner, Advanced Internet Security (AIS), to address these issues with information security and data protection solutions. Results include zero disruptions from viruses and a greater than 90 percent reduction in backup and restore times.
