University Website: New front end servers deployed successfully

On 03/06/2014 two new front end servers were deployed to LIVE. The servers replace the old infrastructure and are responsible for caching content from the University's central CMS service for users accessing webpages. The new servers are built on the University's virtual infrastructure allowing them to take advantage of the additional resources should the need arise to meet future requirements.

Agnes has already gone back (using Geir's support account) and explained that our config is correct, which we already suspected.  Now we have to wait for Atex's next suggestion.  I'm still keeping an eye on the call.

 

Cheers,

Mairi

UWP008 - POLO Database Upgrade

Stephen Conlon 15-Nov-2013
Current status w/c 11/11

Project has been delayed due to resource unavailability to investigate the Polopoly version upgrade. Polopoly 10 has been decided upon but it will require a local install before estimates can be firmed up. This is now in progress.

  • It has been recommended by Tech Management that this project and the follow on project to upgrade the front end web severs be done together to save time and effort. This has been discussed and agreed with the program manager and communicated to UWP team.
  • Scope change submitted to WIS and approved this week.
