Newberry College Establishes Advanced Information Technology Platform Through Strategic Partnership With N3T
NEWBERRY, S.C., July 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Newberry College has announced a new strategic partnership with advanced technology company Net 3 Technology (N3T), in which the firm will provide a range of specialized technology services and advance the College to a new level of IT support.
As outlined in the multi-part agreement, the company will manage all on-site IT services, and provide business continuity and data protection. The agreement also establishes a full call center operation for the College through Perceptis, which will provide 24/7 IT help-desk support for Newberry students, faculty and staff.
Using the firm's "plan.b" program, N3T taps into Cisco's UCS, VmWare and EMC to provide an economical solution for off-site data protection. The plan provides a secure environment through automated off-site backups.
"N3T is honored that Newberry College has entrusted us with the management and support of the technology systems at the school," said Hudson Denney, president of N3T. "We are excited about being a part of an ecosystem that will allow students to utilize leading edge technology that many institutions are behind the curve on today. Newberry is charting a path that will be the envy of its peers."
The initiative with N3T continues Newberry's recent efforts to significantly upgrade and improve the College's internal infrastructure as well as the physical environment of the campus.
"As we continue our process of strategic renewal at Newberry College, it is essential that we elevate and advance our IT function as an integral part of our operations and institutional planning," said Newberry College CFO and Executive V.P. for Administrative Affairs Dr. Steven Feld. "We are pleased to announce this strategic partnership with N3T so that we can leverage technology to enhance the student experience and create a more efficient and effective workplace for our faculty and staff."
Over the past year, Newberry has upgraded other aspects of the campus infrastructure and has enhanced several facilities on campus - including a new fitness center, student welcome center and renovations to the Alumni Music Center. This fall, the student housing renovation portion of the nearby Oakland Mill will be complete for occupation.
