Call it layered security or defense in depth, but just make sure that you use it. While the concept is as old as IT security thinking itself, that doesn’t make applying layers of security any the less relevant today. Choosing the correct layers, of course, is paramount. Think of defense in depth as being a risk mitigation construct applying multiple layers of control across the length and breadth of your IT environment, and you will be pretty much on the money.

Audio quality is essential to effective teaching and classroom engagement, but it can be difficult to choose and deploy technology that will ensure the exceptional audio quality that today’s students expect and demand as part of their educational experience. Academic institutions must be selective in the microphone systems they integrate into teaching spaces of all sizes. This white paper will outline common challenges in maintaining high audio quality and describe how current microphone technology — and specific features and system configurations — can solve these issues and simplify the extension of voice lift and audio recording capabilities across the campus.

Technological innovations that were experimental, risky and cost-prohibitive just a few years ago are rapidly and widely being adopted in our workplaces, scientific and artistic pursuits, and learning institutions. Colleges and universities seek to take best advantage of such fast-changing technology as they compete for gifted students and high-profile faculty. Digital curricula and the complex computing requirements that result when learning is enhanced with virtual reality, 3D modeling and data intensive applications can be challenging and costly to accommodate. However, solid, powerful, proven workstation technology that relies on the most advanced capabilities of modern operating systems and hardware components empowers students to develop skills that allow them to contribute in a digital economy, no matter what career choice they make. Download this white paper from Dell and Intel® to help you understand when you should choose a workstation versus a PC for higher education courses.
