  • Research
  • Departmental (applications, web servers, file & print, etc.)
  • And much more!
 

What do we provide?

VUIT Application Infrastructureprovides a technlology stack on which you can run your application. This stack includes traffic management (application load balancing), security, hardware, storage, operating system and/or an application platform. VUIT Application Infrastructure does not manage the data center facilities or the network. However, VUIT Application Infrastructure does work closely with the groups that do provide these services, so you don’t have to worry about these items. The VUIT Application Infrastructure team currently manages over 1300 server instances, 1.5 petabytes of data, and robust, enterprise-class application platforms. How do we manage so much? Do we have great technology? Yes. Do we get great support from our vendors? Sure. But, there is one foundational factor that makes this all work…our people. Enterprise Application Infrastructure is staffed with some of the most knowledgeable and hardworking people in our field who are truly dedicated to providing the best IT infrastructure services to the institution. And who benefits from this? You do!

How we can help you do what you do better?

As a customer, your focus is, and should be, on providing an application or service to the institution. You should not have to worry about whether your server is patched, your storage is redundant. In short, you should not have to worry about the infrastructure that your application is dependent upon. Leave that to us.
