Being able to manage classrooms and technologies in the event of a disaster is critical to the long-term success and vitality of a school or district. And the midst of a crisis is not the time to start planning your recovery strategy. Dell's approach to business continuity is to prepare our internal systems, as well as those of our customers, as we collectively enter a new era of readiness for continuous operations. Events can be as simple as performing routine administrative maintenance, as complex as upgrading student information systems or as unexpected as a flooded data center. Business continuity planning and systems help to:
- Retain student information by avoiding network disruptions,
- Asset management and control through crises, and
- Keep the school systems in operation.

Dell divides business continuity into three areas and targets the specific needs of K-12 institutions when helping your school plan for recovery in the event of a crisis:
- Planning and Recovery Services : helps schools develop a holistic strategy to prepare teachers, staff, students, process and technologies for expected or unexpected events that could disrupt operations;
- High Availability Systems : helps maintain the availability of critical student and administrative systems during a system failure or service outage; and
- Disaster Recovery Systems : assists in recovering critical systems and data after catastrophic events or disasters.
