Upon reviewing the Draft CIS Strategic Plan for Computing I would like to make the following initial recommendations: Phase 1 a. b. c. d. Upgrade all desktop PCs in the Open Lab to a standard unit and configuration. These PCs do not need to be “high-end” units; they only need to be capable of running network applications and maintaining connectivity to the UNIX servers. Utilizing the best PCs removed from the Open Lab, concentrate improved equipment into the Teaching Lab to improve this labs performance. Configure one (1) classroom as a virtual lab 1. Acquire one (1) wireless router 2. Acquire 20 laptop computers with wireless NICs 3. Acquire one (1) secure storage cabinet for the laptops. Acquire a minimum of two (2) Windows 2000 servers Phase 2 e. f. g. h. i. 2. Transition network operating environment from MS Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000 Acquire a dedicated T-1 connection to allow for remote access and network expansion Replace current Dial-up configuration with a dedicated Windows 2000 Terminal Server. Rebuild the current network infrastructure. The current infrastructure was built in stages, and does not meet the current needs. The system backbone needs to be rationalized. Configure and expand existing video security system to cover building exits. Enable system to record digitally directly to a dedicated server. Phase 1 improvements can be implemented almost immediately. The existing infrastructure will support these changes. Additional equipment will be needed as noted above. The systems that have been displaced by upgrading the Open Lab can be combined with the existing systems in the Teaching Lab, enabling the removal of the older systems from this lab. 15 3. Phase 2 improvements will be considerably more involved. I hesitate to make any kind of installation estimate. Much research is needed on the current equipment and infrastructure before we begin to develop a concrete implementation plan. It is likely that as the plan development and research proceeds, it will be broken down into additional phases, based on existing requirements and budget constraints. It is not unlikely that this phase will take up to three (3) years to complete. 4. Phase 2 is the most important phase, but also the one that will take the longest. Phase 1 improvements are important and can be implemented fairly quickly. I recommend that we begin the first phase improvements as soon as the current budget permits. 16 14 Apr 04 MEMORANDUM From: Douglas McDonald, Computer Systems Control Coordinator To: Dr. Edward Jones, CIS Department Chairman Subj: CIS Strategic Plan Progress Report Encl: 1. CIS Strategic Plan Memo dated 03 Nov 03 2. Current Network Configuration 1. When I arrived on 03 November I prepared a memorandum (Encl: 1) reviewing the Draft CIS Strategic Plan for Computing and made a number of initial recommendations. Now that the network upgrade has begun, I would like to revisit the memo and address the status of those recommendations. Phase 1 j. k. l. m. Upgrade all desktop PCs in the Open Lab to a standard unit and configuration. 28 new PCs have been installed in the Open Lab. The remaining older units are the best available. We have budgeted for up to 30 new PCs annually from the MII grant. Utilizing the best PCs removed from the Open Lab, concentrate improved equipment into the Teaching Lab to improve this labs performance. – This has been done. Some network drops require repair to place all available computers. Configure one (1) classroom as a virtual lab – This is in the Title III plan for next year. Acquire a minimum of two (2) Windows 2000 servers. – This has been done. The servers are both on-line. Phase 2 n. o. p. q. Transition network operating environment from MS Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000. – This has been done. The LAN is now based on a Windows 2003 domain being served by the new servers acquired during Phase 1(Dell Poweredge 2650). Acquire a dedicated T-1 connection to allow for remote access and network expansion. – This is no longer a valid requirement. It would be redundant as we currently have access to the University’s T-1 line. Replace current Dial-up configuration with a dedicated Windows 2000 Terminal Server. – This has been done, again utilizing one of the new servers acquired in Phase 1. We can now provide students direct access to all network resources with no restrictions on the number of simultaneous users. Rebuild the current network infrastructure. – This process has begun, but is not yet complete (see note 3). 17 r. Configure and expand existing video security system to cover building exits. Enable system to record digitally directly to a dedicated server. – This has been proposed and quotes have been received, but the funding has proven elusive as yet. 2. Phase 1 improvements are essentially complete. Those that are not actually accomplished are budgeted for the next fiscal year. 3. Phase 2 improvements are progressing faster than anticipated, with items e, f, and g being essentially complete or determined to be unnecessary. I will now address the remaining two items. A. The process of rebuilding the infrastructure is well underway. Utilizing already available equipment (3 Sun SunFire servers purchased through MII) and the two newly acquired Dell servers (again through MII) we have significantly upgraded our processing and data storage capabilities. 1. The network has transitioned from a Solaris server emulating a Windows NT domain to a Windows 2003 server (solomon2) serving a Windows domain and also functioning as a Solaris Network Information System (NIS) master server. This has simplified user administration, stabilized the domain services, and allowed an increase of 50% in the number of Solaris workstations available. 2. Email and web services have been transferred to a new Solaris server (Serel), allowing us to retire the obsolete server we were employing for those tasks (also named Serel). Sufficient space has been allocated to the mail and user directories to allow for considerable future growth. 3. User directories have also been moved to the new Serel server, freeing up considerable space on the remaining original Solaris server (Hannibal). 4. A Solaris remote connection server (Douglass) has been added. This will allow us to disable remote access to all Solaris workstations, centralizing control and enhancing network security. We are currently in the process of disabling that remote access. B. The major task remaining involving network servers is to replace Hannibal with the new Sunfire V880 server. To accomplish this we must still research the existing Hannibal to determine its configuration, what applications is it supporting, and what of those applications are actually required. Once this is complete and the new server on-line, user directories will be relocated to it, as it has 440 GB of storage available. This will permit us to avoid imposing size quotas on faculty directories and any other directories that possess large space requirements for research. C. The network infrastructure still requires rationalization. The current cabling plan is chaotic and inefficient. We have acquired some the tools needed to begin its physical upgrade, and most of the remaining switching equipment is budgeted for through MII for the next fiscal year. As work progresses on documenting the 18 existing plan (Encl: 2), more inefficiency is identified and additional equipment and supply requirements are determined. Future budgets will require monies be available for such things as fiber optic cabling, wiring kits, and test kits, cable conduit and outlet boxes. D. Physical security remains a significant issue. Several proposals for improvement have been put forth and price quote for implementation have been received, but the funding for improvements has not been available. We will continue to identify and document necessary security improvements as we try to secure funding for them. E. One item not addressed in the proposals was furniture. We are purchasing some new furniture for the new Security Lab, but the student desks in the Open Lab require replacement. They are tables that are not designed for computing equipment. With the workstations on them there is insufficient space available for the students to utilize notes, books or work effectively. They are simply too crowded. 4. 5. We are making much faster progress than I originally anticipated. While there are considerable tasks yet remaining, the improvements that are now in place have noticeably improved the network. New workstations have improved the student’s ability to work in the labs. Terminal Services has replaced dial-up, not only saving the University $3,500 per year but also dramatically enhancing the ability of both students and faculty to access the network resources remotely. The new servers have improved the reliability and availability of the domain, significantly reducing downtime, increased the available data storage capacity, simplified user management, and increased the reliability of our email services. With progress continuing at this pace, the only barriers to complete success in modernizing this network are budgetary. We must continue to fund the planned improvements, and the MII grant is critical to that. Should that grant be renewed it will make our long range plans achievable. We must secure funding to improve our physical security. What we have now is insufficient for our needs and will not support our continued growth. Lastly, we need to secure funding to pay the Systems staff (not including myself) commensurate with their actual duties. We need to see through the requested position reviews and upgrades and do everything in our power to keep this team intact. 19 VI EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS OF FACULTY FOR HOMMER PROJECT Equipment List Chandra About 4 to 8 linux machines that can be built into a cluster to run MPI Chatmon & Evans Equipment Description: PART NUMBERS Cisco 2611XM Dual 10/100 Ethernet Router w/ Cisco IOS IP (DC Power Supply) SMART net 8x5xNBD for Cisco 26XX 24 port, 10/100 auto sensing, auto negotiating Catalyst Switch SMART net 8x5xNBD for Cisco CISCO01721 Cisco Restricted PIX Firewall 515 W/2 10/100 Ethernet Ports, 3DES & AES Enabled Cisco PIX 515E Security Appliance Cisco PIX 501 Bundle Firewall Cisco PIX 501 Bundle Firewall CISCO IDS 4215 SENSOR 80MBPS Cisco IDS 4200 Series sensors Cisco CVPN3030-NR VPN C CVPN3030-NR nonredundant hw set, sw, client, & US powercord oncentrator, Non-redundant hardware including Software and client CISCO2611XM 1 TOTAL PRICE $1,497.00 CON-SNT-26XX 1 $274.40 WS-C2950-24 2 $1,194.00 CON-SNT-C2950-24 2 $77.00 PIX-515E-R-BUN 1 $2,097.00 CON-SNTPIX515ER PIX-501-50-BUN-K9 1 $293.30 1 $507.00 CON-SNT-PIX50150 IDS-4215-K9 1 $100.10 1 $4,377.00 CON-SNT-IDS4215 1 $408.80 CVPN3030-NR-BUN 1 $11,997.00 8x5xNBD Svc, Cisco VPN 3030 CON-SNTVPN3030NR 1 $1,232.00 TOTAL $24,054.60 20 QUANTITY Jones A small lab of 6 computers of mixed types, - 2 Suns, - 2 Macintoshes, - 2 PCs and a variety of basis software (e.g., Netscape, IExplorer, open source) Humphries 5 high end desktops and bridge Prasad 3 windows based machines and 1 UNIX based machines and a scanner and all the equipment necessary for creating a LAN.
