Status – Initiative build-out complete
Service Owner – Brent Tuggle
The focus was to meet the storage and backup needs of faculty, students, and staff while also addressing the advanced needs of individuals and groups (researchers, business offices, etc). Providing a set of high level storage and backup services would provide opportunities for cost savings through consolidation and also provide needed services that are currently unavailable on campus.
Accomplishments
- Public and Hybrid/Private Cloud Storage (U of I Box, Google Drive, OneDrive)
- Consumer-grade backups (Crashplan)
- Enterprise-grade backups (Veeam)
- High-performance private cloud for research data (Active Data Storage)
Gaps
No hybrid cloud for archival data
No private cloud for bulk data
Roadmap includes looking into using AWS storage gateway as a service.
