Key Goals

  Preserving Your Data Protecting Your Data from unauthorized access or tampering  Providing Secure Access to Your Data 2

Is this you?

3

What do you see?

    Office environment – Secure?

– HVAC/Electrical?

Backup next to computer?

Both devices very portable Self maintained equipment?

4

Key Data Questions

   Is this your only copy?

Is this your only backup?

 What if someone steals your computer or external hard drive?

 What will you do WHEN your disk drives fail?

Can you regenerate data or pull down a copy from elsewhere?

5

Key Access Questions

   Is your environment secure?

Water? Electrical problems?

Who has access to your computer or local server?

  Operating system vulnerable?

Has your security been tested? Security audit? Penetration test?

How C&IT Can Help

   Consulting Assistance with preparing grants Computing, data storage and security solutions 7

Resources

 High Performance Computing Grid – Free access and some storage – Buy-In for a priority cluster (free mgt)  Colocation of your physical server – Physical security, power (free) – file backup (fee)  Hosted services under VM (fee) – Server and file backup included – Good solution for a Web server 8

HPC Grid

      Research and teaching Free access Multiple queues Two main architectures – High core (64 per processor) – Faster processors (8 cores each) 415 TB of High Speed Storage http://www.grid.wayne.edu

Other Resources

      Special data storage/replication solutions Virtual Private Network SSL Certificates Nessus (vulnerability) scans Penetration testing (fee) Science DMZ for fast and secure data transport 12

Science DMZ?

    Demilitarized Zone Separate high-speed (10 gbs) network with restricted access Funds - Physics/C&IT NSF grant Uses – Move large (TB size) files between instruments/data repositories – Provide low-latency, real-time connections to instruments or performers 13

10 Gbps Science DMZ

To Universities, National Labs, Businesses via Internet2, ESnet, LHCNet, LHCONE… C&IT Mott CompSci Physics Medicine Funded by NSF grant to Physics/C&IT. Est. completion June, 2013 14

Wish List

    More storage Private cloud Desktop backup Cyberinfrastructure (Research Computing) Strategic Plan -- Have you answered the survey?
