System Administration Operations

What We Do

The IT System Administration team maintains backend servers for all core campus services including: Banner, Active Directory, Exchange, Citrix, SQL, DNS (Domain Name System) and VPN (Virtual Private Network) among others. We also monitor and manage USU's cutting-edge data center. 

Let Us Help You

If you want the USU IT System Administration team to help you host servers or services, we can provide any of the following solutions:

  • Server colocation in the USU Data Center
  • Virtual Private Servers in the USU VMWare cloud
  • System administration services, where a member of our team will manage your server OS
  • Hosting of individual services on a shared enterprise server

 

Server colocation

We can provide rack space in the USU data center where you can install server hardware you provide. The data center is located in the SER building on the USU campus, and includes redundant power circuits backed by batteries and generators, in-row chilled water cooling, connections to USU's high speed network, and a web-accessable KVM system.

 

VMWare VPS

The System Administration team maintains a VMWare cloud where we can create virtual servers where you can install your own OS and software. This gives you many of the advantages of full server colocation, but is often more cost effective.

 

System Administration Services 

One of our system administrators will manage the OS on your server, allowing you to concentrate on application management. Your IT System Administrator will: 

  • Keep servers up and running
  • Update anti virus protection
  • Apply patches as available
  • Resolve software problems
  • Respond to hardware issues
  • Check event logs

Individual Service Hosting

Some services can run on a shared server, for example web applications or wikis. If you are running one of these and want to integrate it with an existing USU IT server, we can create an SLA to provide server space for this.
