  1. As needed, and in response to, or in anticipation of demand and expectations, expand the following components of the infrastructure or service, in support of the University Mission:
  • Capacity
  • Performance
  • Availability
  • Capabilities
  • Security
  • Usability

  1. Keep infrastructure current and within vendor support.
  2. Deploy technical infrastructure and services in a manner which meets established Recovery Time Objectives (RTOs) and Recovery Point Objectives (RPOs) in the event of disaster.
