I have worked in the IT data center operation since I have been at UNMC. Data center operations provides monitoring, troubleshooting and problem resolution for all computing platforms and networks for UNMC and the clinical enterprise. Operations staff members are on duty 24 hours per day, 365 days per year to ensure the integrity of computer processes and to address issues as they arise.

“Commitment to Excellence” is one of UNMC’s brand values. Tell us of a time you witnessed this commitment at UNMC.
We had a power outage once and to see the response and help that we received from the on-calls that day was pretty impressive.
