Two new positions in the Network Operations Center (NOC) have been posted and the search to fill the positions is underway. The new positions represent iCIT’s success in moving forward on two key strategic initiatives – iDM and Server Virtualization – and will allow us to be prepared to take them to the next level.
Identity Management Engineer. This new position will focus on integrating our campus identity management system with UW System’s HRS project, integrating electronic workflow into existing processes and providing automated provisioning processes to users. These activities will forward iCIT’s strategic vision of enabling self-help and automated delivery of services to end users. The growing importance and increased demands of the initiative requires full-time effort. Nick Ciesinski has done an outstanding job performing this role on an interim basis in addition to his many other duties and his oversight is appreciated.
Virtualization / Storage / Platform Engineer. This new position will focus on managing the tremendous growth in storage and virtualized server infrastructure as iCIT expands use of these technologies, and will help manage the large numbers of servers currently supported by existing system administrators. This position will further the strategic goal of virtualizing infrastructure when possible, with resulting cost and energy savings for the institution. Virtualization and storage infrastructure have been admirably managed by Joe Uselding and Chris O’Connor in addition to their many other duties, and their dedication is appreciated. This new position will allow us to continue to grow without overburdening staff.
If you have questions or would like more information on these positions, contact Tom Jordan, NOC manager, or Elena Pokot, CIO.
