No status. Allen and Shel were not present.
- IBM was given the information it requested regarding mainframe growth and "new content" and is waiting back
for both the software and hardware proposals. The hardware has two ways to go: a rebate format, or a price per MSU.
With what we know, and the lack of a UCOP resource to gather purchase plans on a three to six month basis,
the rebate format seems like a better fit. IBM should be providing more information on both plans.
- The group agreed on a strong recommend to the ITLC that UC Strategic Sourcing get involved and take
responsibility for negotiations with IBM, since it is the largest data center expense - $24 to $42 million annually.
- Two spreadsheets were sent last week to gather information for hardware, software and
services from the campuses and medical centers. Karen has received the information from some
locations and requested that the remainder send her the information in the next week or two.
- Karen will consolidate the information and forward it to the group.
- Charlotte is looking at what can be done to add it to the JDCMG Web site with some type of security.
- Patrick Collins has resigned and his last day will be July 29. This leaves the UCOP IT Strategic
Sourcing group down from three people to one.
- Tom said that there is no RAID based solution available at any of the locations
interested in doing this. He looked at software solutions and thinks that Softek
Replicator could do the job. The list price is $22K for up to 165 MSUs.
We should be able to get started with a no cost trial license. What he's looking at
is setting it up for once a day synch points for daily backups. This solution
does not address the needs for offsite archives.
- Michael Yuan and SD will move forward with the trial. Berkeley will be
available in September and Karen will follow up with Jack for UCLA's participation.
- UCB and UCSB discussed their options.
- UCB's Data Encryption Policy for Databases and Portable Devices is due out
July 19. It will be distributed to the group by Shel or Patrick when it is available.
- Charlotte will distribute the draft RFP for a UC-wide encryption solution that
was driven by HIPPA issues and through the UC Information Security Work Group.
- Patrick will send out a survey next week.
- Patrick will send the PowerPoint presentation.
- Three (UCLA, UCOP and UCI), maybe four (UCR) campuses are using Mobius's ViewDirect
Report Distribution System. UCLA and UCOP will need to negotiate with them for their
September upgrades and they will coordinate that to get a better deal.
- Michael asked if there was interest in discussing what's going on with the UCTrust project.
For those interested there will be presentations on this at the UCCSC meeting August 7-9, or you
can go to the UCOP Web site for more information.
