Enterprise Infrastructure (EI) partners with campus IT providers, especially ITS departments, to provide for and sustain reliable, available, and responsive computing and communications infrastructure. EI is responsible for physical IT infrastructure such as fiber optic cabling and management of the campus data network and wireless networks. It manages the campus data centers and provides server and database hosting services for physical servers, virtual servers, and SQL and Oracle databases. EI also provides system and application hosting services for enterprise and departmental users and manages central enterprise storage services.
- Infrastructure and Networks. Enterprise Infrastructure has ultimate responsibility for university communications infrastructure and wired and wireless data networks, including all WiFi and cellular technologies; outside plant copper, fiber, and coaxial cable; in-building copper, fiber, and coaxial cable; communications closet infrastructure, access, and security; microwave, satellite, and other point-to-point communication infrastructure; wireless design, radio-frequency use, and deployment, including cellular sites and all radio frequencies; and all other communications infrastructure. All communications infrastructure installed on campus must comply with campus standards and be approved and inspected by EI. Unapproved infrastructure may be removed, replaced, or redesigned at the expense of the department that installed it.
- Construction projects, remodels, and relocations. When a construction project, remodel, or relocation causes the need for additional communications infrastructure, equipment, or services, the one-time installation and capital costs shall be borne by the project and should be included in the project budget.
