ITS OPS has established a co-location facility model for departmental servers. This facility enables departments to co-locate their critical servers in ITS' main data center. This environment includes:

• uninterruptible, clean power
• environmentally conditioned
• 100Mb/s or GigE network connectivity
• remote console access provisioning
• secure rack space only accessible by department assigned staff

By placing departmental servers in this environment enhances reliability of the services provided by these machines departments can:

• recover departmental space
• protect against power interruptions
• keep equipment cooled to specificiations (especially during summer and fall months)
• ensure secure accsss while still having physical and remote access to the devices

Servers must be rack mountable to fit this provisioning model.
