Information Technologies/CFRDC

USF is the host institution for a large scale computing facility designated as the Central Florida Regional Data Center (CFRDC). This facility operates as a computing utility within the SUS and provides the primary administrative computing support for the University and numerous other agencies as well as a level of I & R Computing. CFRDC is a division within Information Technologies (IT) and its support staff consists of Computer Operations and Technical Support including Database Administration. Computing accounts are established through the IT Financial Management group.

Central site computing equipment located in the Student Services Building on the Tampa campus includes an IBM 9672 Model R32 Enterprise Server supporting tape and disk storage subsystems, laser and impact printers in the MVS operating system environment, in addition to several SUN UNIX machines, and numerous NT servers supporting e-mail and calendaring as well as file and print services. CFRDC is heavily involved in the management and operation of the campus-wide Backbone Network providing access to research facilities on campus and the world. IT also provides and supports the telephone and voice mail systems at all USF campuses. Microcomputers, printers, and other associated equipment are maintained in "open use" areas on all USF campuses to enable students, faculty, and staff access to the network and central site processing support. These remote open use areas may vary in their scheduled hours of operation, but, generally speaking, each provides significant amounts of access, normally six or seven days a week.
