SUMMARY:Be Connected: Hyperconverged Infrastructure - Pros & Cons for Schools
DESCRIPTION:Considering a new data center architecture for your school district? Let’s discuss a practical option on this week’s Be Connected. \nTune in for an overview of Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI)\, a solution that combines computing\, storage\, and networking into a single system. We’ll weigh the pros and cons\, from simplified management and scalability to potential costs and vendor lock-in\, to help you determine if HCI is the right fit for modernizing your district’s IT environment.\n—\nBe Connected is a virtual networking series designed to spark meaningful conversations and collaboration within Illinois’ K–12 technology community. \nHosted by the LTC’s Technology Services team\, each free session centers around a different relevant topic\, ranging from infrastructure planning and cybersecurity to emerging tools\, networking strategies\, and day-to-day IT challenges. These informal yet purposeful sessions offer a relaxed and supportive environment where participants can ask questions\, share experiences\, and learn from one another. \nExplore upcoming session topics: https://www.ltcillinois.org/services/beconnected/

SUMMARY:Technology Leaders Collaborative
DESCRIPTION:We bring together K–12 technology leaders from across the region for two hours of conversation and collaboration.

SUMMARY:Be Connected: Network Redundancy

Tune in to share your experiences and your strategies for maintaining minimum viable connectivity during a crisis. \n—\nBe Connected is a virtual networking series designed to spark meaningful conversations and collaboration within Illinois’ K–12 technology community. \nHosted by the LTC’s Technology Services team\, each free session centers around a different relevant topic\, ranging from infrastructure planning and cybersecurity to emerging tools\, networking strategies\, and day-to-day IT challenges.
