Major Initiatives

A changing landscape

Smartphones! iPads! Tablets! They’re new… they’re here… and here to stay. Employees and students want and expect mobility; access to UNMC’s resources on any device, anytime, from anywhere.

We Tweet it, Facebook it, YouTube it. Just for the consumer you say? Not so. UNMC is embracing these dynamic social media technologies.

We lecture, record and store… email, forward and store… analyze it, share it and store it. New technologies have greatly amplified the amount of data being collected, analyzed and saved. In spite of technologies that increase storage and storage management capabilities, enterprise storage will continue to grow exponentially, with studies predicting a 45% growth in data annually.
