Administrative Systems Update (given at the fall 2007 tech liaison meeting)
Much effort and resources have been devoted the enterprise level storage for students, faculty and staff. Administrative computing currently manages 16TB of space. We have increased faculty network storage to 4GB per user, and will increase the space on a request by request basis.
The Campus banner system will be moving to a new server, January 11, 2007. There will be some brief downtime.
We are investigating how to best handle live broadcasting of events of the internet. We are purchasing a new streaming server, to better serve this purpose. We will be streaming events in QuickTime format, and making this videos archived in a variety of formats. Faculty are encouraged to use the streaming server for their video needs.
We are in the process of setting up a new faculty web server. This server will better grow in meeting the demands of online classes, vitas, portfolios and disseminating content via the web to the campus community. We will be moving folders on an individual basis, and you can expect to be contacted by a systems analysts next semester.
We have started the process of implementing a portal system on campus, this will give us the ability to provide single sign-on, single source messaging, and webct banner integration.
