Have you ever wondered how the Town of Holden Beach operates during emergency conditions like Hurricane Irene? Well, Microsoft has written a case study on how the town uses new “cloud” computing technology to manage emergencies.
“The entire IT operation has been virtualized, says [Town Manager] David Hewett. Holden Beach computers are directly connected to the GeniSys data center over a fiber optic connection…” This “[ensures] continuity of operations when the town’s government had to leave with its residents.”If you’re interested in learning more and reading the full case study, take a look at the link below:
