Helix Upgrade
ITS is preparing to upgrade the streaming media software to the latest release version, which will fix a problem that causes us to restart the service on the streaming servers.
IMSP Count
In an effort to retire the IMSP service, ITS has been gathering statistics on how many users are attaching by day in a one month period.
VUNETID
Have been working the the infrastructure development to replace the VUNETID system. Currently, ITS is in a phase where the new web server used to start on demand transactions, needs access to various tools that the current production environment has access to. Currently ITS is setting up a method for the new web server to check the quota for a given mailbox in the IMAP system
LISTSERV
The new listserv application to replace majordomo has begun development and staging. This month ITS successfully got the application installed and configured, and now are awaiting the status of a baseline security scan. Once the scan comes back, we will put this on a public network, and begin testing.
LEGATO ESX
ITS successfully architected and testing a backup / restore model that can used in the Virtual Infrastucture to backup VMDK files (essentially a ghost image). ITS is now looking at ways to automate this process.
IDM
ITS has agreed to a proposed architecture for the Identity Mangement Solution, and are now looking for buy-in on the architecture from the customer. ITS is now aggressively working to get a functional test environment
AMCOM
ITS has setup amcom access to development server using the applications hosting build network, and ITS applications hosting authentication standards.
Move VM’s
This month an upgrade to the SAN infrastructure caused a quick need to move about 7 VM’s from Stevenson Center to Hill Center. ITS performed this task quickly and efficiently.
New ESX Servers
ITS expanded the virtual resources available to two clusters this month. One went into the Intel Production Cluster, and the other went into the Co-Lo cluster.
