  1. ITS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES Ken Orgill Assistant Vice Chancellor, Information Technology Services and Campus Chief Information Officer

  2. What are the Problems? • A changing world where information security is paramount An aging network technology that won’t support new data, voice and video technologies

  3. What are the Problems? A data center that does not meet the IT demands of the campus A pressing need for the campus to communicate more effectively and efficiently A campus demand for additional robust business applications and the architecture improvements to support them

  4. What are the Answers? NGMAN – Next Generation Metropolitan Area Network Enterprise Information Security MCB Consolidated Data Center Centrally Supported Exchange E-mail and Calendaring System Applications Support and Improved Systems Architecture for Core Administrative Systems and Projects

  5. NGMAN • A high performance network backbone connecting all major UCSF sites and providing a platform for future technologies such as VoIP • Utilizes state-of-the-art optical Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) built in parallel with the existing metropolitan network • New technology brings faster speeds, greater bandwidth and increased security • Increased redundancy allows for less down time and permits maintenance to be performed without disrupting service

  6. Enterprise Information Security • Establishment of an enterprise-wide organization to develop information security policies and procedures and recommend consistent architecture and solutions • Incident response for security events and scanning of the network for high risk vulnerabilities • Collaboration with the Clinical Enterprise to support on-going HIPAA compliance • Development and deployment of hardware and software infrastructure and initiatives to support network security

  7. MCB Consolidated Data Center • Allows for economies of scale and potential to collaborate on future initiatives through co-location with the Medical Center • Safeguards core mission-critical hardware with proper environmentals and improved security • Provides opportunity for server consolidation to reduce licensing and maintenance costs • Includes space to house research servers containing sensitive data in a secure environment at minimal cost • Creates a back up site for improved disaster recovery for key administrative systems

  8. Centrally Supported ExchangeE-mail and Calendaring System • A collaborative effort of ITS, the Medical Center and the School of Medicine • Provides a robust secure e-mail infrastructure • Allows participants to share global address lists, calendars and public folders • Currently migrating student, faculty and staff ITSA e-mail accounts to Exchange by 10/31/05

  9. Applications Support and Improved Systems Architecture This initiative will: • align the “AdCom Roadmap” (currently in development) with the Administrative Systems Advisory Committee (ASAC) new 5 year plan • support ASAC funded projects, i.e. Research Administration, Asset Management, and Distributed Processing • leverage new technology to contain costs and improve services • allow for enhanced financial and management reporting • provide infrastructure to support better access to information, improve the efficiency of our business processes and increase the security of our administrative systems and data

  10. One Time Costs* (in 000’s) * Excluding Applications Support and Improved Systems Architecture
