  <Title>DoIT Receives NSF Grant for Campus Cyber Infrastructure</Title>
  <Tagline>System supports research in analyzing polar ice caps &amp; more!</Tagline>

    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Broadening UMBCs Data Storage footprint to Advance Scientific Research and Discovery</p>
    <div><span><p><span><strong>Purpose</strong></span><span><strong>:</strong> The Retriever Research Storage System, R-RSTOR, will enable UMBC researchers to address important research in atmospheric science, analyze polar ice caps, and develop AI models for human and robotic interactions. The system will support increased collaboration with the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES) on research into the ecology of the Chesapeake Bay and its watershed, as well as the broader community access through the Open Science Data Federation. </span></p>
    <br><p><span><strong>The Team: </strong></span><span>In collaboration with the Office of Research &amp; Creative Achievement (ORCA), Information Systems (IS), and Computer Science (CS), DoIT is the Principal Investigator.</span></p>
    <br><p><span><strong>Award Amount:</strong></span><span>$498,122.00</span></p>
    <br><p><span><strong>Details: </strong></span><span>This system integrates with UMBC's existing High-Performance Computing Facility and Science DMZ to streamline interdisciplinary and inter-institutional collaborations. The additions to the system will allow researchers to enhance data mobility between on-premises and cloud environments, accommodating evolving computational requirements as more workloads shift to a hybrid cloud model. Utilizing the </span><a href="https://ceph.io/en/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><span>Ceph open source distributed file system</span></a><span>, we will add approximately 2.5 petabytes of storage. We have ordered the equipment and expect that this will be operation by the end of 2024.</span></p>
    <br><p><span><strong>Big Picture:</strong></span><span> This is one piece of a large multi-million dollar investment in research computing infrastructure across multiple USM institutions. Work has already begun to implement and deploy new equipment and configurations to support research storage. </span></p>

    <Title>Upgrades to Residence Hall Wireless</Title>
    <Tagline>Faster Wi-Fi and 2,500+ access points</Tagline>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content">
          <div>The Residential Life office (RL) and the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) have partnered to implement a brand-new wireless system for on-campus residents. </div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>Providing technology solutions that enhance the student experience is among DoIT’s core values and through this collaborative project we have:</div>
          <div><ul>
          <li>Improved wireless access for students by enhancing wireless coverage in key areas.</li>
          <li>Increased network speeds by installing over <strong>2,500 new wireless access points</strong> with <strong>Wi-Fi 6 capabilities</strong>. </li>
          <li>Reduced connectivity challenges by adopting a cloud-native architecture.</li>
          <li>Created a personal, home-like experience through the new <strong>Retriever Home</strong> wireless network. </li>
          </ul></div>
          <div>This project started more than 18 months ago when DoIT began working closely with the Office of Residential Life to test, pilot, and redesign the wireless system throughout the residential complexes. This project is the culmination of that collaboration and has been driven by the experience of student residents through Residential Student Association Townhalls, surveys, and other means of soliciting feedback from student residents.</div>
          <div> </div>
          <div>This project would not have been possible without the tremendous effort of our student employees in the Network and Telecommunications teams of DoIT. </div>
          <div><br></div>
