Hosting NSHE Applications
SCS hosts application software for NSHE institutions and the NSHE System Administration. This service provides a reliable, monitored, and secure alternative for institutions that may otherwise need to implement their own computing infrastructure and operations staffing solutions. Some hosted applications are used System-wide and others are used by a particular group or institution.
Examples of hosted applications include: Lotus Notes at WNC, Blackboard CE at GBC and WNC, and other applications like Customer Information System (CIS) and AutoAudit.
In addition to maintaining and monitoring the infrastructure and operating software on UNIX, Linux, and Windows server platforms, standard hosting includes regularly scheduled backups and offsite tape storage as well as server monitoring and a customer alert process.
Hosted applications are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, excluding scheduled and unplanned outages. Planned outages must be approved by SCS management and typically occur during standard maintenance windows. The customer will be notified of planned outages through direct e-mail communication and standard weekly communication from the SCS Service Desk.
