Departmental Resources
The Department of Computer and Information Science and Engineering possesses the following departmental resources.
The bulk of the disk storage comes from 2 Network Appliance filers with 3 TB of raw disk space.
There are approximately 35 servers providing services including web, email, database (oracle and postgres), Kerberos authentication, DNS, NIS, DHCP, backups, samba, NFS, LDAP, and security related services.
We have 5 sparc CPU servers which are publicly available for people to run jobs on. They range from 2GB to 8GB of memory, and 300 MHz to 1 GHz ultra sparc processors. We have 2 linux CPU servers with 8 GB of memory and dual 3 GHz processors.
We have approximately 100 suns (Solaris), 190 PCs running windows variants (Windows XP primarily), and 80 PCs running linux (SuSE) serving as lab machines and desktops for students, TAs, RAs, and faculty members. Of these, 24 suns, 58 windows PCs, and 45 linux PCs are in public labs that are available for general student use, computer lab use for classes, etc.
The networking in the department consists of a Cisco Catalyst 6513 which provides routing and switch capabilities to more than 600 machines and 80 networks in the department. The entire network consists of fiber optics to the entire department except for the machine room which is connected to the Cisco with Gb rated UTP. All networks run at 100 Mb except for the servers which use high bandwidth which run at 1 Gb.
The network connection to the world is a 100 Mb fiber connection to the University of Florida core network.
There is also a wireless network in place covering the entire building for faculty and students who have wireless notebooks and other devices.
