The Enterprise Platform Services Group provides the hardware and
systems software to run campus applications. Most central campus
functions are hosted on Enterprise Platform Services equipment, and
many departmental applications as well.
Platform Services consists of the following groups:
- Mainframe Services:
The system programming and technical support team
is responsible for the IBM mainframe and its proprietary operating
system (z/OS). UC Berkeley's IBM mainframe model z9-2096, rated
at 770 Million Instructions Per Second (MIPS), hosts a diverse set of
applications including BFS, HCM, Payroll, CARS, Student Systems and
FAO.
- Storage and Backup Services:
The group provides customers with high-availability disk
storage in capacities ranging from 35 Gigabytes to multiple Terabytes,
for individual systems on the IST Data Center SAN, or for multi-host
access anywhere on the Campus LAN through NFS/CIFS services. Beginning
in 2007, disk storage for individual systems will be available over the
LAN, via iSCSI. LAN-based backup services for systems of any size are
available campuswide.
- Unix Services:
AIX, Solaris and Linux operating systems support running on IBM, Sun and HP
hardware.
- Windows Services:
Windows Server 2003 Standard and Enterprise operating systems support running on
Dell Blade hardware and VMWare Virtual Machines.
