Low Medium High
Likelihood
Plumbing failures that affect the Digital Collections are low-likelihood events, but the impact will
vary from low to medium depending on the systems involved and personnel affected. Water
leaks that contact electrical devices are a serious threat to human safety, and therefore flooding
could force the Digital Libraries Division and Lib-TACO to shut down systems until the situation
can be evaluated and resolved. The worst-case scenario is water flooding into the UNT
Libraries' server room from the floors above. Plumbing failures in other parts of the building
could affect electrical power and/or network cables that carry the repository's content to the
Internet.
Management Strategy
The Digital Libraries Division depends on facilities management provided by the UNT Libraries
and UNT Facilities. Lib-TACO monitors and manages conditions in UNT Libraries' server room.
The Digital Libraries Division and Lib-TACO carry out regular backup of data, databases, and
applications according to standard backup practices. These backups are intended to serve as
the basis for restoration of server infrastructure materials in the event of data corruption or loss.
Data stored as part of the UNT Libraries' Coda repository is migrated between two storage
facilities, one in the Willis Library, and one in the UNT System Data Center at the UNT
Discovery Park research campus.
Server room cooling failure
Dependencies
Cooling of servers and storage arrays is important for the integrity of data, databases, and
applications. Server room cooling depends on electrical power for operation. See above for the
Digital Libraries Division's risk analysis and management strategies for electrical failure.
