Your mission is to provide services to your users--not to operate a machine-room. Let us take care of the hardware, so you can concentrate your efforts--and your resources--on accomplishing your organization's primary goals. Can you afford a dedicated, controlled-environment machine-room? Yes you can, if you use ours!
Choose from a range of hosting solutions, where your server runs on CNS's enterprise-class hardware, or, if you prefer, a "co-location" service--where you own your own hardware, but it is installed in our secure, environmentally-controlled machine-room.
You can have as much hands-on involvement with the management and operation of your server as you want--or as little. You retain exactly the degree of control and involvement that suits your preferences. And whatever type of hosting service you choose, sleep soundly at night (or even go on vacation!) knowing that your server is under the care of experienced IT professionals in a secure environment.
CNS has been serving the computing and networking needs of higher education and government in north Florida since its founding (as the "UF Statistical Center") in 1956. Throughout all those years we have stayed continually at the forefront of information technology. But even while keeping pace with IT's rapid evolution, we have developed and maintained careful sets of standards and best practices to ensure that technological advances do not disrupt the continuity of service upon which our clients have come to depend. With CNS, you get the best of both: the most advanced technology, and the proven, time-tested track record of a well-established data center.
CNS hosted a meeting on October 11, 2006, at which these services were announced to the UF IT community. A handout distributed at that meeting describes the various services in more detail, and provides a preliminary pricing structure. That handout is available here, in PDF format.
