And given the coming volumes of data, Biscotti continues that comprehensive backups “will present potentially insoluble governance issues, such as [network bandwidth](http://campustechnology.com/articles/2014/03/18/the-impending-it-headache-of-the-26-billion-thing-internet-of-things.aspx) and remote storage bandwidth, and capacity to back up all raw data is likely to be unaffordable.” This is a reality facing education campuses around the country and the world. The need for high-capacity bandwidth to run current IT systems and add advanced learning platforms and capabilities is huge and growing. [NERCOMP](http://www.educause.edu/nercomp-conference/2014), the Northeast Regional Computing Program, is a conference taking place March 24-26 in Providence, Rhode Island, that addresses the networking and learning needs of the higher education IT community. [Lightower](http://www.lightower.com) has extensive experience [![Lightower, NERCOMP 2014, education technology, campus technology, high performance optical network](https://static.hsstatic.net/BlogImporterAssetsUI/ex/missing-image.png)](https://blog.jsa.net/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Logo-Lightower-4color_RGB-Large-JPG-Apr-20133.jpg)providing next-generation networking solutions to education institutions throughout the Northeast. The company enables advanced learning environments across high-performance all-fiber networks that connect campuses, deliver high-performance Internet access, form the basis of critical disaster recovery solutions and more.
