St. Petersburg College
St. Petersburg College is a public college headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida, with 11 campuses and centers in coastal cities across central Florida. It has an annual enrollment of about 31,000 students. As the college is based in a hurricane-prone region, business continuity is a major concern.
To keep its student records and administrative data out of harm’s way, St. Petersburg College is moving its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). To secure the ERP applications and data in OCI, the college chose cloud-native components from the Fortinet Security Fabric. In addition to supporting resiliency, the Fortinet solution has improved cloud application security and operational efficiency, saving $12,000 per year.
