BSIT220-T302

  Throughout this class, I have enjoyed the different versions of hardware and how it interacts with basic troubleshooting. I wish we went deeper into cisco IOS. My current job works directly with customers on a pure software side, I was able to take a few things I learned here and applied to make me a better employee. Although I like putting my thoughts out on paper, I dislike how public-facing some of these sites are. I enjoy my privacy and do not wish to share anything document-wise that can be traced back to me. Even if I give 100% correct information and someone tries it in a future update, it may break a system, and I do not want to be held liable. In the software space having a github or blog can help with employers, but it also shares that not all the focus is going into the company. Thank you Instructor Leatherbury for teaching this class and for keeping it interactive. 

  Anytime a company stores or processes any data that is needed for company operations there should be a contingency plan in place, this plan is a step-by-step plan to keep the company running in a limited fashion even after a disaster. A plan should include at least one supervisor from the different portions of the company to help set a priority list of what services or programs need to be running to do the bare minimum amount of work. Also, a backup plan for communications in the event of a hurricane, flood, tornado, terrorist attack, or zombie apocalypse. Many larger companies already have these and portions of them are shared with the customer within an MOU. Most of the time communication equipment is the top priority followed by intranet sites. To ease the load and better prepare for a failure the use of cloud computing can help keep everything running. Kirvan, P. (2022, May 31). What is a contingency plan? WhatIs.com.
