What is Cluster?
Cluster is a central file service that ITS offers. Through the use
of our Active Directory environment and Storage Area Network we provide
access to over 1TB of storage space. Information stored is backed up
on a nightly basis through our Legato NetWorker environment.
What are the Benefits of Cluster?
| File Storage |
Central file storage that is shareable amongst the
members of your department. Storage allotments can be increased
or decreased for what amounts to be a simple monthly fee change. |
| Automated Backup |
Nightly backup of our Storage Area Network (SAN) allows for assured
recovery of that lost important document. Staging backups decrease
the restoration time greatly. |
Central Print Services
ITS provides a load-balanced print environment based on Windows 2003
servers with R2 extensions. This environment allows for the newest print
drivers and gives redudancy by having one of the two servers in each
of our different server hosting rooms. All printers in this environment
are secured through our corporate Active Directory domain. This environment
gets backed up on a nightly basis and is fed by our high-speed network.
