Leading the Way in Education by Cutting Down on IT Busy Work at Middleton-Cross Plains School District with HPE SimpliVity
I’ve always hoped that our school district becomes a leader. My dream is that, one day, other districts look at our work and try to mimic what we do. These past few years, Middleton-Cross Plains Area School District in Middleton, Wisconsin, has put a big focus on equity.
Not equality, meaning everyone gets the same thing, but equity, which recognizes that some students are at a disadvantage and need a bigger step up to achieve success. It isn’t hard to envision IT’s role in working toward a more equitable future for our students.
As a systems engineer for Middleton-Cross Plains (https://mcpasd.k12.wi.us/), it’s humbling to think that I have some influence in setting the stage for a child’s future. I want future generations to succeed beyond anything I think is possible. My job is about making sure our schools have the right IT infrastructure and that students have the educational foundation for all the amazing things they will do. Who knows? Maybe that child in elementary school will become the doctor who will one day save my life.
The problem was that we used to have a system that took too much time just maintaining it. It was a traditional setup: We kept almost all our eggs largely in one basket, and even though we did copy data to another location, we didn’t have an easy way to bring that data back online. In the event of an actual catastrophe, I knew it would take weeks—even months—to get back up and running again.
Having backups isn’t the same as having a true DR plan. In the event of a disaster, how vulnerable are you?
We also had capacity issues. We were frequently running into space and memory walls. Managing storage took up a lot of time. We had to worry about filling up different resource pools and moving VMs around to make space. It felt like a constant game of shuffling things around.
We did traditional backups, which took a lot of time. We started backups late Friday night. They would run throughout the entire weekend and sometimes wouldn’t be finished by Monday morning. We couldn’t back up during the day, because it would impact performance and slow everything down for everyone. As a result, we couldn't perform backups as frequently as we should have.
Could we really be that launchpad for our students when all our efforts went into maintaining this cumbersome system?
