Overview

Computing Infrastructure provides management and support for end-user computers, servers, storage systems, operating systems, databases, middleware and ERP systems. There are three groups that make up the Computing Infrastructure team:

  • Database and ERP Administration
  • End-User Computing
  • Server & Storage Services

The Computing Infrastructure team has a vast collective set of skills and expertise in areas such as data center management, Storage Area Networks, desktop and server imaging, database administration and general troubleshooting skills, that can be leveraged by other groups at the University for advice and consultation.

Microsoft Azure global infrastructure is made up of two key components—physical infrastructure and connective network components. The physical component is comprised of 200+ physical datacenters, arranged into regions, and linked by one of the largest interconnected networks on the planet.

With the connectivity of the global Azure network, each of the Azure datacenters provides high availability, low latency, scalability, and the latest advancements in cloud infrastructure—all running on the Azure platform.

Together, these components keep data entirely within the trusted Microsoft network and IP traffic never enters the public internet.

 

Ensure business continuity with a full spectrum of backup and disaster recovery options available with Nutanix HCI. Eliminate complex IT silos, simplify operations, and reduce costs while meeting your SLAs.

HCI converges the entire datacenter stack, including compute, storage, storage networking, and virtualization. More specifically, it combines commodity datacenter server hardware with locally attached storage devices (spinning disk or flash) and is powered by a distributed software layer to eliminate common pain points associated with legacy infrastructure. Complex and expensive legacy infrastructure is replaced by a distributed platform running on industry-standard commodity servers that enables enterprises to size their workloads precisely and to scale flexibly as needed. Each server, also known as a node, includes x86 processors with SSDs and HDDs. Software running on each node distributes all operating functions across the cluster for superior performance and resilience.

Hardware platform configurations are available to fit any workload by independently scaling the various resources (CPU, RAM, and storage) and can be provisioned with or without GPU for graphics acceleration. All nodes include flash to optimize storage performance, and all-flash nodes are available to deliver maximum I/O throughput with minimum latency for all enterprise applications.
