30. List any changes you will make to your IT systems as a result of the storm?<br />

Additional remote servers and database storage systems<br />

Looking at redundancy<br />

Not sure if we could have prevented any IT problems<br />

Better battery backup<br />

Require a longer life UPS system<br />

Increase our text messaging capabilities and possibly add repeaters in the buildings so building staff can communicate<br />

between buildings on radios<br />

Back up server and VOIP system, VPN service to server<br />

Multiple layers of resiliency will be added<br />

Telephone/data services being relocated above ground. Will look into wireless service for the building<br />

We obtained a Google Apps account for the enterprise with sub accounts for executives<br />

Assure a connection to the emergency generator for building servers and office<br />

More off site storage<br />

I would transfer power to IP phone system to emergency power<br />

We powered down our network proactively to ensure network was not impacted - also, shutdown generator located at<br />

street level. Infrastructure was not comprised vs. other tenants that ran equipment during flooding<br />

Increased on site fuel storage for backup generators<br />

Require IT Support to be on site<br />
