ACAA Meeting Minutes
3:00-4:00 PM, ACNS Conference Room

In attendance: Pat Burns (phone), Bryan Carney, Terri Pecora (phone), Ed Peyronnin, Bryan Gillispie,Ron Splittgerber, Scott Baily, Randy Miotke and Joe Volesky

Five current project request forms were reviewed with goal of defining additional information required to make an informed decision about the best way to proceed.

1)LDAP integration into CSU Cray, Condo Cluster and CU/CSU Shared HPC Cluster.

2)Organizational Research Contributor ID (ORCID) implementation request. Also a field in Digital Measures. This identifier should be included in the systems of record (HR for faculty/staff and Banner for students). Randy said that the ORCID folks are changing they way they are managing subscriptions. Pat and Randy agreed to look at this more and come back to the group with a recommendation. Taking an incremental approach, e.g. start with faculty and grad students

3)From Matthew Bratschun, College of Business. Office 365 DL Granular Sender Control. Could use more input regarding the level of granularity required, and whether we have the ability to provide this. Would the MailManlistserve utility handle enough of this capability? Lance to visit with CoB, and perhaps with a follow-up with the CITAC, to clarify what is in scope.

4)Sharepoint Online Implementation Request –Volesky gave a recap of a call with Microsoft earlier this week regarding Sharepoint Governance, as everyone who is offering Sharepoint Online services agrees that this is an absolute requirement. Baily propose to establish a sub-committee of the IAC to learn more about what is possible, what is really required, and to ultimately make a recommendation as to how to proceed.

5)From Michael Glitzke, CVMBS. This is a request to establish the required network (VPN) connectivity for the college to proceed with placing workloads in Microsoft Azure. Next steps for this request include:

  1. Baily to work on the MS Azure licensing issue, currently a dead end with Dell.
  2. Getting the service licensing piece in place would allow independent services to be spun up (i.e. services that are not tightly coupled with back-end databases, etc.)
  3. We can then look at establishing one or more VPN tunnel to provide the type of connectivity required for services integrated with campus if the MS/Internet2 peering proves to be insufficient.

The meeting adjourned at3:50 PM.
