10/12/11 - Using USC NetID for ITP Classrooms

Beginning with this semester, ITP students were able to use their USC NetID to login to Viterbi RDSFarm (formerly known as ITP Virtual Lab). Viterbi IT also added support for roaming user profile and network storage space for students.

The benefits to the students are:

1. Students won’t have to remember another account as their USC NetID credentials will get them access to the RDSFarm (a farm of RDS servers).

2. 1GB of network storage space is provided to each student. This reduces their reliance on USB flash drives (or other means of storage). Nonetheless, students are still advised to save backup copies of files on their own USB flash drives for further data protection.

3. The RDSfarm server farm automatically load balances connections by students to enhance service availability. With roaming profile, students will see the same environment regardless of which server they are on. This means that Desktop and files saved to the network storage will follow them across RDS sessions.

Viterbi IT is pleased to announce that ITP students can soon use their USC NetID login in ITP classrooms. The above benefits will be extended to the ITP classrooms (except in OHE406 which has a unique set up). This will be done incrementally starting with OHE542 on Monday, 10/17/11. Once USC NetID login is enabled in all the ITP classrooms, the student could go into the ITP classrooms, log in to any computer and get the same roaming profile with network storage space. Please note that what they see on OS X and Windows will be slightly different for obvious reasons.

Changes in the ITP classroom computers:

1. For USC NetID login, students will need to login with domain suffix @ISD.USC.EDU after their USC NetID username. Note the use of ISD.USC.EDU is case-sensitive.

For example,

Username: ttrojan@ISD.USC.EDU

Password: {USC NetID password}

2. Students, faculty and guests may continue to login to the ITP classroom computers with the standard “itp” account with no password. For Mac login, users can simply type “itp” for username and no password. For Windows login, user should type “computername\itp” for username and no password. There will be a label on the computer and flat panel for easy user reference of what the computer name is. So, for faculty and students who do not want or need to utilize network storage space and roaming profile, they do not have to login with their USC NetID.

8/19/11 - Secure FTP Server for Distributing Electronic Course Material

Dear Viterbi Faculty,

I am pleased to announce that we now have a secure FTP server available for you to distribute electronic course materials of large file size to your students.

Many of you have requested such resource so you could do away with distributing instructional software via CDs/DVDs. That day has come. With this resource, your students can use any SFTP client program to access the server. Fetch (for Mac) and FileZilla (for Windows) are two SFTP client programs available on USC Software site, http://software.usc.edu.

If you have a need to use this resource, please submit a service request at http://viterbi.usc.edu/servicedesk with the following information:

* Course number

* Section number

* Estimated storage required to host the files.

This resource is strictly meant for instructional support. Each request will be reviewed to determine eligibility. Once approved, two separate accounts along with the instructions for server access will be communicated to you. One account will be used to upload files to the server. The other account will be used by your students to download the files you are distributing.

All files and user accounts will be purged at the end of the semester.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

Best regards,

Michael

2/25/11 - Viterbi IT Online Backup Service

Viterbi School Faculty,

Viterbi IT is pleased to remind you of an online backup service for faculty in the departments it supports (ASTE, BME, CEE, CHEMS, EE-P, ISE, and ITP). This service is available at no cost. If your home department is AME, CS or EE-S, please inquire with your respective departmental IT for availability of a comparable service.

The online backup service by Viterbi IT is flexible, highly customizable and easy to set up. Your data is stored on in-house storage infrastructure of Viterbi IT and securely replicated to a remote disaster recovery site for further data protection. You may back up multiple machines but you are allowed up to 40GB storage total space.

Highlights of the Viterbi IT Online Backup Service:

• 40GB storage and automated backups at no costs

• Secure backup - data encrypted in transit and at rest

• Enhanced data security compliance - backup data stays within Viterbi IT storage infrastructure at both local and remote disaster sites; data is not stored in cloud storage of unknown destinations

• Backup and manage multiple computer backups from a single account

• Cross-platform client support: Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris

• Hands-free data backup - set the time and frequency for data backup, receive email and desktop notifications on completion of the job

• 24 x 7 data access via any browser - view, find, and restore files and folders; centralized data management via the web

Here is how you can get started:

1. Go to Viterbi IT Service Desk at http://viterbi.usc.edu/servicedesk and submit a ticket asking for a Viterbi IT’s Online Backup Service account.

2. An account will be created after your request is received.

3. If you are the type to do things yourself, your Online Backup Service account information will be provided to you with step by step instructions.

4. A technician is also available to assist with the installation and configuration of the software via appointment. On-campus visits only.

5. Additional information could be found in the knowledgebase at http://viterbi.usc.edu/intranet/vba/vsoeit/knowledge-base/

We often hear terrifying statistics: Up to 10% of the world's 700 million computers crash every day; only 6% of Internet users back up daily; 43% have lost files at some point. There's no good reason for this - given this backup option is available to you. Don’t be part of those statistics of computer users who suffered lost data or files. Be mindful also that backups are invaluable when it comes to disaster recovery.

If you have any questions about this service, please let me know.

Sincerely,

Michael Goay

IT Director
