Identity Management
The IDM project has scheduled for go live in March. In preparation for the go live, ITS has currently deployed two C-LDAP servers to provide directory services for Medical Center applications and an E-LDAP server to provide directory services for the general University community. ITS also has deployed IDM gateway servers for active directory provisioning events. ITS also increased the security of authentication services by ensuring encrypted network communication channels.
Storage Administration
ITS personnel changed, as I move from the system administration team to the storage administration team. This change requires knowledge transfer, which encapsulated time during this month.
Virtual Stabilization
Two new VLANS were trunked into the virtual infrastucture to support some new PBX applications that will run on virtual machines.
System Resource Reports – ITS spent time metering and gathering statistics about our virtual infrastucture depicting the host physical configuration and utilization as well as all virtual machine location and utilization.
Vacation
Personally, I was about one week this month for my first vacation. Upon return, I was fully revitalized and ready to hit the ground running.
