Compaq ProLiant Server 6000
March 2, 2012 will mark the end of an era within the University Data Center. On that date, the Compaq ProLiant 6000 server that once powered the University’s E-form system will be officially retired from service. This server was first put into production service in early 2000 and has served the University without any major issues for the past twelve years, which is a remarkable accomplishment.
The launch of E-forms 2.0 within myOleMiss in the summer of 2011, along with the recent completion of migrating all of the historical E-forms into the new application, was the catalyst for this retirement.
“The age of the hardware platform was one of the driving forces behind the development and launch of E-forms 2.0,” notes Al Ling, Director of Enterprise Applications. “Now that the migration of the historical E-form data has been completed and is now available within E-forms 2.0, it makes sense to retire this server from productive use. A heart-felt thank you goes out to the Technical Services staff for keeping this server fully operational for the past twelve years.”
