Update on the Enterprise X: Faculty & Raptor Servers
Office of the CIO
November 4, 2008
This is a technology update regarding the use of the Enterprise X: drive, the Faculty and Raptor servers. Information & Technology Services is in the process of implementing a new file storage server with the intention of replacing Faculty, Raptor and the X: drive. Please note that data on the servers will be available until the new servers are implemented. Full implementation is scheduled for the Spring Semester 2009. The servers are being replaced for two main reasons: the hard drives has very limited space and the servers are currently behaving erratically on occasion. The new servers will be set up with allocated home directories for faculty and staff. This method of allocating file storage space is more in line with IT best practices across other University and Corporate settings and is much easier to manage.
In the meantime, we suggest, that you make every effort to back up all files that you have on the Faculty and Raptor servers as well as on the X: drive. I would encourage you to take advantage of Blackboard course management system for a secure storage space for course related files. There is also a place where faculty and staff can post websites separate from the new hosted uvi.edu site and that is http://sites.myuvi.net. ITS set this service up with Google as an alternative for faculty and staff to utilize for posting websites.
If you are interested in using http://sites.myuvi.net for hosting your website please contact the ITS help desk at helpdesk@uvi.edu or call 693-1466 so we can arrange to get you set up.
