Charge
This working group was established by the ITLC in response to an abrupt change in license renewal options from our current cloud storage provider (Box). Faced with licensing fees of approximately $1.3M, the ITLC sought to form this working group to establish both a storage strategy for campus as well as an exit strategy for the current cloud storage provider.
Scope/Boundaries
- In Scope
- Determining current campus storage strategy (if any for both on and off campus storage) and developing a forward thinking, long term strategy
- Exit strategy plan for current cloud storage provider
- Understanding utilization and costs of current storage options for campus
- Out of Scope
- Databases
- Digital Asset Management Systems (DAMS)
- Backup solutions (e.g. Crashplan)
- Out of Scope
