Bainbridge Island School District

Today's world is a connected one — even in schools. Classrooms utilize technology in every aspect of learning, so a network failure means an interruption in learning. With EcoStruxure™ IT, the Bainbridge Island School District has peace of mind with real-time visibility of their entire network, anytime, anywhere — ensuring continued learning.

The Challenge

• Bainbridge Island School District faced the challenge of monitoring a complex network: a central data center and 35 data closets for 9 schools and 11 facilities

• Frequent storms caused power flickers that resulted in a flood of emails, making it "hard to sort through all those and make sure that everything came back online safely"

• Limited resources further complicated monitoring and response efforts

The Solution

Connectivity and Efficiency with EcoStruxure™

Apps, Analytics & Services: EcoStruxure IT app (formerly Mobile Insights), EcoStruxure Asset Advisor (formerly Remote Service)
Edge Control: EcoStruxure IT cloud-based data center infrastructure management (DCIM) solution
