IT Servers and Services Consolidation Projects
Charges
Develop a complete strategy and implementation for consolidating campus servers. Create economies of scale, increased security, and consistent, predictable service through a consolidated support infrastructure. This infrastructure and accompanying services should maintain and/or improve the quality of support and responsiveness that customers receive, and should operate in partnership with all IT units. The focus will initially be the campuses administrative units, but the plan should have the capability of being scaled to the entire campus.
