Hi all, It's been 7 years in the making, or tearing down. We shutdown our mainframe December 31. We ran VM for an incredible 38.5 years and it was a blast, especially at SHARE and the various incarnations of this group!
- Gerry Dube has retired (mostly), though not before helping all Maine K-12 schools and libraries be very well connected to the internet. - Kerry Anderson leads our e-mail, ID management, DNS and several other areas, and of course has built world-class tools to integrate and manage the systems. - My hats include Listserv postmaster, Oracle DBA, and backup and recovery. We're just now implementing a new D2D2D system (Quantum & NetBackup). - Our administrative systems have moved to PeopleSoft on Sun Solaris SPARC machines, with nearly all of the rest of our shop on Linux Intel machines. - In an odd twist (of cruelty), we've retrained one of our mainframe operators to handle our Windows systems work. ;-) Happy New Year to all! Cheers, Wayne Wayne T Smith -- [email protected] Systems and Operations Group, ITS, UMS
