What challenges does the Arizona Department of Education face in IT?
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) faces significant challenges due to budget constraints typical of government organizations. With a static budget for several years, the IT team, led by Edward Block and Chris Henry, must maximize every dollar while managing a large-scale K-12 public education system that serves over 1 million students and 51,000 teachers across 2,380 schools.
How has Azure impacted ADE's data management?
The implementation of Azure has significantly transformed ADE's data management by enabling the development of the Arizona Education Data Standards (AzEDS), which automates and consolidates student data tracking. This system processes millions of transactions daily and supports the management of $6.5 billion in school funding, moving from manual spreadsheet management to real-time data submission.
What role does Veeam play in ADE's backup and recovery strategy?
Veeam plays a crucial role in ADE's backup and disaster recovery strategies by providing solutions that integrate seamlessly with Azure. The partnership allows ADE to utilize Veeam Backup & Replication for both on-premises and cloud-based services, ensuring effective business continuity and data recovery through features like immutable backups, which enhance data protection.
