Data Center Operations

The Data Center Room is the single most important IT resource at Cal Maritime. It is a focal conduit for electronic data communications not only pertaining applications hosted by Cal Maritime but the Internet itself.  

The Data Center is located on the ground level of the Classroom Building near the center of the campus. The room is divided into two spaces; an office space and a server containment room.

The network operations staff maintains approximately thirty servers in the equipment room. Equipment includes the main campus servers (with the exception of those maintained by the Library), core switches and firewalls. The server containment area is protected by a halon fire suppression system. Power is backed up by a UPS and a generator.

Office space is also provided for four IT staff members within the Data Center. Their duties relate to both network/server operations and the Help Desk.
