Some Frontiers of Security Work

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Some Frontiers of Security Work (ID: EDU07115)
Author(s):Joseph E. St Sauver (University of Oregon)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

The higher education community faces increasingly difficult issues of security in a networked world, compounded by the demands of advanced applications. Performance requirements (high bandwidth, end-to-end transparency, new protocols) are essential for the academic mission and innovation, but are not easily accommodated in current approaches to network security. The Salsa group is forging new frontiers to address these issues.

Network Management

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Network Management (ID: EDU07024)
Author(s):Charles Wayne Hollingsworth (Georgia State University) and Garret T. Yoshimi (University of Hawaii)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Since its inception in 1997, this group has discussed a wide range of topics relevant to network managers including network convergence, bandwidth management, management systems, security, wireless technologies, and support. This gathering will allow network managers to share ideas about their current professional challenges and new or emerging technologies with other networking experts from a wide variety of institutional backgrounds.

Academic Freedom Versus Network Security

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Academic Freedom Versus Network Security (ID: EDU07304)
Author(s):Larry W. Bryant (United States Air Force Academy) and Richard Mock (United States Air Force Academy)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/23/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:

Can too much security be a bad thing? Tighter Air Force policies are conflicting with the Air Force Academy's academic mission. While most colleges are tightening security, we are trying to relax ours. This talk will explain why this struggle will eventually occur at all educational institutions and how we have dealt with it.

Letting Go of ResNet

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Letting Go of ResNet (ID: EDU06231)
Author(s):Edwin W. Fuller (Ithaca College), Anthony Hambey (Birmingham-Southern College), and Robert C. Paver (Southwestern University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/10/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Presenters from three schools, Southwestern University, Ithaca College, and Birmingham-Southern College, will discuss how their ResNets had become a drain on money, staff, and bandwidth. By outsourcing their ResNets, they are able to control the costs of managing a ResNet and to reclaim valuable IT resources.

Making the Leap to Disk-to-Disk Backup

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Making the Leap to Disk-to-Disk Backup (ID: EDU06268)
Author(s):Charles Augustine (Princeton University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (10/11/2006)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Switching from a tape-based to a disk-based backup architecture at Princeton University has improved backup performance and reduced staff effort significantly. This presentation will describe the justification for this change in the context of a multiyear project to improve our central backup service, including both hardware and policy changes.

The Journey Toward 24 x 7 IT Monitoring

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:The Journey Toward 24 x 7 IT Monitoring (ID: EDU04160)
Author(s):Thomas M. Sheriff (University of North Carolina at Greensboro)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2004)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Network operations centers (NOC) are secure master control centers where IT staff use a variety of tools to observe, analyze, and report on network infrastructure, servers, services, and applications for intrusion, availability, configuration, and performance. Learn how UNCG struggled through designing, building, and operating their NOC with limited staffing and budget.

Bandwidth Management - Current Issues Roundtable

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Bandwidth Management - Current Issues Roundtable (ID: EDU0127)
Author(s):Alan McCord (Lawrence Technological University)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:This Current Issues roundtable session will focus on how colleges and universities manage their Internet bandwidth in today's environment of peer-to-peer applications, advanced network applications, and limited bandwidth availability. How are we monitoring and tracking the use of Internet bandwidth by constituent groups or by application? What tools and techniques do we use to measure, monitor, or allocate our Internet bandwidth? What usage policies or chargeback systems are we using to help shape the demand for bandwidth and ensure appropriate use of network resources? What emerging technologies and usage patterns do we see on the horizon that will further stress our networks and challenge today's bandwidth management practices? Come share questions, success stories, and challenges with our colleagues.

Network Measurement and Bandwidth Management

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Network Measurement and Bandwidth Management (ID: EDU0116)
Author(s):Mark I. Berman (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Perry Brunelli (Williams College)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Campus network management begins with knowledge of network traffic and how it changes over time. This session will present how two very different institutions measure and manage their campus networks. The University of Wisconsin has developed a sophisticated tool to measure network characteristics. Williams College uses commercial and open-source tools.
