Servers & Data Storage

The Center for Geospatial Technology is a fully networked, multi-user environment - with all of our workstations connected to servers and data storage housed in the University Computer Center.

 

Server Management

The Center maintains a close working relationship with the Technology Operations and Systems Management (TOSM) group on campus.  TOSM manages all of our servers and storage - providing weekly intermittent and full 30-day backups for all of our software, applications and data.
