Some colleges are turning to hosted online storage services to keep up with the fast-growing needs of faculty and students who are storing ever-larger amounts of data.
The University of Pittsburgh’s Graduate School of Public Health last month started rolling out the MozyPro online backup service from EMC Corp.’s Berkeley Data System Inc. unit for its faculty and staff.
The school turned to Salt Lake City-based Berkeley after a consultant called its lack of unified backup systems a “weakness” and a “concern,” said IT manager Corey Grone.
The online service is not available to students, who will continue to be offered a small amount of storage on a central Unix system, he added.
