Cabrini College - Information Technology & Resources
Services & Systems
To casual observers
there are only a few computers running the show. When asked, most
people can think of the email and the web servers. In truth there
are many more servers strategically located either on Cabrini's campus
or at Drexel University's Center City campus, depending on their function.
Whenever possible and feasible, servers are relocated to the Drexel
campus where support is provided 24x7x365.
Most of these computers
are small, single-purpose, Intel-based servers from a diverse amount
manufacturers.. Of course, "small" is a relative term. These machines
are quite powerful and are well equiped to handle the services Cabrini's
campus needs. These machines manage functions for the web, databases
and file services for the campus community.
The rest of the computers
not located on campus are housed and maintained by Drexel engineers.
Some of the services Drexel provides include email, Banner and Cabrini
One campus portal. But they also provide a number of less visible
services. Services like DNS, DHCP and other "behind the scenes" essentials.
They are an integral part of Cabrini College's Services and Systems.
