Ongoing issues include: 3-year cycle for equipment replacement; upgrade and incorporation of new technologies in the clusters; laptop ports in the clusters; software and equipment training; monitoring of technology use in the clusters (target funds for high use technologies); publicizing new resources.
The big new issue for this subcommittee relates to the increasing costs involved in the operation of the clusters. The subcommittee should evaluate the purpose of computer clusters and assist ITS in planning for the outfitting (software and hardware) for upcoming academic terms. The subcommittee should also work with ITS on the implementation of security and authorization capabilities in the clusters. Develop a policy for outside use of the clusters. There are numerous outside users of the computer clusters. They include community groups, groups from the tribal colleges, and visitors to NDSU for conferences and other work related functions. Because most campus clusters now have authentication procedures there are issues involved in providing access to outside individuals. A policy should be created for this purpose.

Ongoing issues include: self-sufficiency of all constituents to populate webpages; campus-wide web access; database access and support; streaming media, videoconferencing
My thought is that this subcommittee should work with ITS in developing plans for webpage self-sufficiency and for campus-wide web access. This may also be the subcommittee that should be involved in videoconferencing.

Ongoing Issues include security for both local and remote access; Access to data storage and high-speed data retrieval; easy access to parallel computing capabilities (Center for High Performance Computing); conversion from shared to switched Ethernet. Reevaluate the status of the Modem Pool.
Some additional issues that have arisen that seem appropriate for this subcommittee: Wireless; policy issues related to peer-to-peer applications; VPN services.
