The Enterprise UNIX Team provides system administration for several
hundred servers located in the
campus
Data Center. We work with
developers and application owners from both IST and the campus community
to support a wide range of applications including: BearFacts, bSpace,
COAweb, CDS Online, Tele-BEARS, and Webcast.
The following services are offered:
- UNIX Web Farm / CalWeb
Enterprise UNIX: This service is designed for web-based
applications that include significant program-based content and/or
significant database connectivity. CalWeb Enterprise UNIX is composed of
three operational clusters: Development, Test/QA, and Production. Each
operating layer is configured as an HA cluster and is logical and
physically isolated from the other layers. Application programmers have
significant access and control over their Development environment and
are expected to manage all software that they use at that level.
- CalWeb
Professional: This service is a mid-priced web hosting
solution for campus units that wish to maintain their own web content in
a secure, fast, and reliable web hosting environment. This service is
ideal for traditional, static-content websites and for sites requiring
limited database support. The service is run on a load-balanced pair of
servers.
- UNIX Application
Farm: The UNIX Application Farm provides development,
Test/QA, and Production computing environments for both nonweb
applications and for web applications that require centralized
application server support. Common uses of the Application Farm include
ColdFusion MX support for web applications, standalone Java
applications built on Jboss, and commercial applications such as
Informatica.
- System Administration:
The Enterprise UNIX Team offers management for servers located in the
data center:
- Standard: business hour support, M-F, 8am - 5pm
- Extended: 7x24 support (available only for systems that utilize highly availability configurations)
- Server Provisioning: The
Enterprise UNIX Team supports servers of the following types:
- Sun SPARC running Solaris 10
- HP DL385/585 running Red Hat Linux
- IBM pSeries running AIX 5.3 or greater
