POLICY STATEMENT:

3.      Each user or group will have a quota of 1.5 GB of storage on the web server. This quota will be reviewed annually. Individual needs will be negotiated.

4.      Web space owned by individuals who leave the University will be removed starting 6 months after their departure.

Web Space Availability Recommendations

NDSU CITPG Internet Users Needs Subcommittee

April 16, 2003

 RECOMMENDATIONS:

 1. Web space should be provided for all users.

 2. ACM and ITS should cooperate in providing the service. 

• ACM should have responsibility for managing and assisting users, and for planning hardware and operating system upgrades.

• ITS should have responsibility, similar to that of a collocation hosting service, for providing connectivity, hardware support, housing for servers, backup,  and power backup. ITS support staff should be available to ACM as a resource.

• ITS should provide a link on enroll.nodak.edu to the web space service.

• The ITS helpdesk and ACM staff should cooperate in providing user support.

 3. Since new campus services at this time appear to require additional resources, a charge should be assessed for this service. ACM and ITS should share the funds generated by the charge.
