Web Space Availability Recommendations

NDSU CITPG Internet Users Needs Subcommittee

April 16, 2003

 RECOMMENDATIONS:

 1. Web space should be provided for all users.

 2. ACM and ITS should cooperate in providing the service. 

·       ACM should have responsibility for managing and assisting users, and for planning hardware and operating system upgrades.

·       ITS should have responsibility, similar to that of a collocation hosting service, for providing connectivity, hardware support, housing for servers, backup,  and power backup. ITS support staff should be available to ACM as a resource.

·       ITS should provide a link on enroll.nodak.edu to the web space service.

·       The ITS helpdesk and ACM staff should cooperate in providing user support.

 3. Since new campus services at this time appear to require additional resources, a charge should be assessed for this service. ACM and ITS should share the funds generated by the charge.

 

Meeting adjourned at 3:08 p.m.
