The Connecticut Community Colleges (CCC) are committed to restoring services and having data available in a timely, properly managed, and cost-effective manner, in the event that the CCC system data center is unavailable for an extended period of time. Business Continuity/Disaster Recovery is an important aspect of the CCC system data center’s planning activities and is a primary objective within the CCC's Information Technology Strategic Plan:

Develop arrangements and procedures that will enable the System and colleges to respond to a disaster event in such a manner that critical business IT functions continue with planned levels of interruption or essential change.

• Develop a disaster recovery plan with increasing levels of recovery based on system and local college priorities.

  • The Office of Information Technology will work with various outside vendors to review possible recovery scenarios.

  • Establish estimated costs for recovery services and present options to the Information Technology Policy Committee for recommendations.
