Background on the Computer Science Department's network

The old computer science department network ran on a Windows 2000 server offering 30 GB of storage and a Red Hat Enterprise 3 server offering 74 GB of storage space. Some of the network hamstrings were: Multiple accounts across multiple domains, research accounts, and lacking storage or archival means, limited support mechanisms, lacking centralization and authority.

The upgraded and current network configuration offers single sign-on cross realm authentication, unified shares of 550 GB with 3-5 GB storage space per user, archival ability, and active monitoring systems.

New servers added this year: Windows Enterprise server, Red Hat Enterprise server Authentication server, LDAP server and complete backend for Library, FTP/Download server, an Assignment server for students to submit assignments online and Multiple Web servers.

There is a vast amount of network architecture information which will be published by April 15^th - at which point the fully deployed network will be online - please check back on this page for the updated links to the old network architecture and the new network architecture.
