Bay College, Lake State Sign Computer Networking Agreement

Students planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree in computer networking have a clear transfer pathway with Bay College and Lake Superior State University’s (LSSU) updated transfer agreement.

Students will earn an associate of applied science in computer networking systems and security at Bay College and transfer seamlessly to LSSU’s School of Computer Science and Mathematics in Sault Ste.  Marie to earn a bachelor’s degree in computer networking in two additional years.

Recognizing the educational and economic development needs of the citizens of Delta County, Bay College and LSSU have partnered together since 1989, offering local bachelor degree programs and clear transfer paths to degrees in Sault Ste. Marie.

“Bay College is excited to maintain our partnership with LSSU in the Computer Networking area,” states Mark Highum, Dean of Business and Technology. “We are happy that this new partnership of a 2+2 will make for a smoother transition and better experience for transfer students.”

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2022 Occupational Outlook Handbook, the Network and Computer Systems Administrators position requires a bachelor’s degree, and administrators earn an average of $80,600 per year. While the expected job growth rate from 2020-2030 is below the average for all occupations, roughly 25,000 openings per year are projected for network and computer systems administrators as workers are exiting the labor force due to retirements or occupation transfers.

Network majors can also progress in their career to work in network information security roles where the job growth outlook is 33%, much faster than the average, and median wage is $102,600 per year.

“This new articulation agreement will make it easier for students from Bay College to transition to LSSU,” adds LSSU professor Evan Schemm, Chair of the School of Computer Science and Mathematics. “It seamlessly takes Bay’s two-year associate degree and meshes it to the requirements for LSSU’s four-year bachelor degree. Students will be able to concentrate on the requirements at each institution, with LSSU’s bachelor’s degree building upon coursework and labs…

Interchange Limited (ICL) General Manager Willie Karie says the signing is a big step towards internet connectivity, internet security and overseas expansion.

Karie said the agreement showed the backing of both governments to facilitate ICL’s second marine cable to Lifou, New Caledonia.

ICL will work with the Office des Postes et Télécommunications de Nouvelle-Calédonie (OPT-NC) towards the initiative.

Both governments put pen to paper, witnessed by government officials and other stakeholders.

Karie confirmed that New Caledonia was keen to partner with Vanuatu on this project. He confirmed that the Landing Agreement was in place and the process would be completed next week.

ICL acknowledged the government and all partners for their support towards this initiative.

The external relations advisor to the president of the government of New Caledonia, Charles Wea, said the signing agreement followed a request to the New Caledonia government to facilitate and secure the internet development in Vanuatu.

Wea said they were happy to be part of the agreement.

He added this was important for the people of both countries. The MOU was signed by Vanuatu prime minister Bob Loughman and the president of territorial government of New Caledonia, Louis Mapou.

Hammers sign Acronis as backup and security in one

/in


West Ham United Football Club is deploying Acronis Cyber Protect in a move that will see it replace a number of backup and security products and provide a single platform for backup, data protection, and file sync and share, including with third parties.

West Ham runs Nutanix hyperconverged nodes across several locations, including the London Stadium, academy and training ground sites, and community outreach projects. It also runs a number of HPE physical servers as domain controllers and for CCTV, for example.

Most day-to-day staff work is done on Microsoft Office 365, with accounting on Sage and Adobe graphics for marketing. Football analytics uses Catapult and Game-On video tracking.

Backup has mostly been done via Veeam, but there is also endpoint security from CrowdStrike and network security monitoring from Darktrace. Meanwhile, file sharing has been via Microsoft OneDrive.

The key limitation of the existing setup has been that managing security and data protection has been spread across this wide variety of products, said network security manager Lee Cummings.

“There are lots of systems to focus on and learn, and having everything on a platform that’s familiar, with increased control and the ability to manage and gather information, was attractive,” said Cummings.

“Having everything in one place fits with our ideas,” he added. “Veeam keeps everything together and has cloud options, but we also have endpoint security, file sync and share, etc.”

West Ham is currently implementing Acronis Cyber Protect, which integrates backup with anti-virus and cyber-protection, plus file sync and share functionality. Backup targets will be on-site and in the cloud, with the ability to spin up servers in the cloud if the need arises.

Cummings’ team also protects data on Nutanix via built-in snapshots. Critical data is snapshotted every 30 minutes, with less important data updated once an hour. Snapshots are retained for at least six months. A hoped-for benefit of moving to Acronis will be to lessen reliance on snapshots, said Cummings.

Because West Ham is currently in the process of deploying Acronis, Cummings is unable to talk about benefits…
