Server Hosting

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) provides a comprehensive, common good Web hosting service for University units that enables them to post their own content online. Content is securely managed via separate servers by Web developers from each local unit. Performance and Web traffic is monitored carefully and continually by OIT staff to maintain high levels of quality and performance.

Self-Managed Virtual Server Hosting provides infrastructure-as-a-service (IAAS) to University departments and business units and are created by provisioning managers within the University departments. University departments manage the network security, operating system, applications, backups, security, etc. University departments also provide tier I- and II-level support to the end users of the service. OIT system administrators manage the virtual environment and the underlying physical infrastructure.

The University provides access to tools that enable students, faculty, and staff to publish and manage websites ranging from simple personal sites to organizational sites with large amounts of content managed by many people.
