Project Definition

Name

LDAP Server Upgrade (2004)

Project Description

Upgrade from a pair of machines in an active/passive role to three machines. One machine as the Read/Write server and two machines in an active/active configuration to provide be Read servers (and take over the ldap.uvm.edu name).

Statement of the Problem to be Solved

With the roll-out of the new email infrastructure, the load on ldap.uvm.edu has exceeded what a single machine can provide. We temporarily solved the problem by stealing three machines from other projects to work as ldap-mail.uvm.edu. These machines will be able to perform that roll much better than the single processor systems we stole.

Sponsor

Computing and Information Technology (CIT)

Costs (one-time)

The one-time set-up costs of doing this project are two new x345 systems and will release one x330 machine to be used for other projects.

Costs (on-going)

The continued maintenance costs of this project the maintenance of the x345's after the warranty period expires.

Benefits

This will provide a more robust ldap infrastructure at UVM which will be expandable just as the new email infrastructure is expandable.

Dependencies

This project has no dependencies on other projects.

No other projects depend on this one.
