IT at UCSD
  • ACS - Academic Computing Services
  • Provides services to support the computing needs
    of students and the UCSD community.
  • ACT - Administrative Computing and
    Telecommunications
  • Develops and supports the core UCSD
    administrative computing and telecommunication
    systems.
  • SDSC - San Diego Supercomputer
  • A national laboratory for computational science
    and engineering
  • Mission is to develop and apply high-performance
    information technologies for science and society
  • Funded primarily by the National Science
    Foundation Cyberinfrastructure grant.
  • Calit2 - California Institutes for
    Telecommunications and Information Technology.
  • An experiment in inventing the collaborative
    research environment for the digital future.
  • One of four institutes (UCSD partners with UCI).
  • Hospital - supports their own separate
    telecommunications.

3
ACS
  • ACS supports the computing needs of the
    UCSD community, especially students
    faculty.
  • Student accounts, printing accounts for on
    campus labs, faculty websites, on-campus computer
    repair, software distribution, and network
    installation services.
  • Receives mostly institutional funding, but also
    some recharge funding (fee-for-service)
    for technicians services.

4
ACT
  • ACT Core administrative computing and
    telecommunication systems.
  • Blink, Triton Link, MyServices, the Link
    family, IFIS, ISIS, PPS, the campus telephone
    system, the campus network, electronic mail,
    security, and more.
  • Receives permanent and temporary institutional
    funding, Vice Chancellor Assessments, other
    telecommunication recharges (i.e. voicemail,
    international long distance) and funding from
    flat monthly Communication User (CU) fees.

5
Administrative Computing
  • Core Systems on Campus
  • Administration Office
  • Enterprise Web Application Development (EDWAD)
  • Campus Integrated Systems
  • Portal Services
  • Data Warehouse
  • Funded by Permanent Temporary funding

6
Information Systems (IS)
  • The data center of UCSD
  • Receives permanent funding
  • Requires additional funding to sustain growth,
    and improve system capacity for the three
    components of campus computing
  • Payroll Personnel System (PPS) contains payroll
    and personnel information for all University
    employees.
  • Integrated Financial Information System (IFIS)
    contains integrated processes and applications
    that support the administration of UCSD's
    financial data (accounting, budget and staffing
    data, purchasing online, travel).
  • Integrated Student Information System (ISIS)
    contains the processes and applications that
    support students' needs and the maintenance of
    records (academic records, admissions, course
    schedules, facilities schedule, housing
    applications).

7
Information System Funding Plan
  • IS is funded by the permanent budget VC
    Assessments.
  • Total base budget is 6 million
  • An IS upgrade plan consists of three computing
    upgrades from 2000/01 to 2007/08
  • Total projected cost 11.9M over 8 years.
  • The Vice Chancellor-Business Affairs contributed
    1.5 million, leaving 10.4 million to be funded
  • The assessment model is designed to allot the
    costs proportionately to the degree each unit
    benefits.

9
Next Generation Network (NGN)
  • An enhanced data and voice network
  • Provides enhanced communication services and
    technology, including
  • Faster data connections and Internet bandwidth
  • Expanded help desk services
  • Better network security
  • Increased network services
  • Resources for network
  • repairs and upgrades
  • Wireless equipment and services
  • E-mail, active directory, and
  • other network services

10
NGN Funding Model
  • Pre-NGN, program funded with
  • Permanent funding
  • Surcharges on additional voice services requested
  • Port (IP) charges
  • VC Assessments for unfunded upgrades
  • New NGN Funding Model developed over 3.5 years
    with intensive modeling, projections, technical
    financial study
  • Funded with
  • Flat monthly Communication User fee (CU)
  • Permanent and Temporary Funding, and
  • Vice Chancellor assessments

11
NGN Funding Model
  • Funding Model Objectives
  • Secure sufficient funding to sustain a
    state-of-the-art campus network
  • Minimize financial impact on departments and
    sponsored projects
  • Establish a stable, simple and predictable
    charging mechanism that recognizes the
    unification of voice and data technologies
  • Eliminate the inconsistencies and inequities of
    current recharge mechanism
  • Eliminate existing phone line charges
  • Eliminate existing computer network charges
  • Eliminate telephone feature package charges
  • Reduce telephone toll charges by 40
  • A number of committees formed to provide
    oversight and monitoring to NGN
  • Committees include policy, upgrade
    prioritization, Communication User policies,
    rebate
  • Two phases of NGN
  • NGN1 July 2001 June 2006
  • NGN2 July 2006 June 2011

12
NGN Funding Overview
NGN 1 July 2001 June 2006
  • Costs were estimated at 9.9 million per year
    for the first 5 years
  • Communication User fees (CU) fees fixed at
    60 per month for 5 years
  • Annual VC assessments of 1.4 million planned
  • Temporary funding sufficient to eliminate
    assessments through 2004/05
  • 1 million from ICR
  • The first assessment was in 2005/06 for 300
    thousand
  • NGN 2 July 2006 June 2011
  • Increased CU fees, intended to eliminate VC
    subsidy and ICR funding by the end of NGN2
  • Permanent and temporary funding sources projected
    at 1.6 million/year
  • Unlimited domestic long-distance service,
    eliminates monthly recharges

NGN Funding Plan(000s)
All figures are in thousands
14
NGN Communication User (CU) Fee
  • CU Fee is levied against the department for each
    employee who qualifies as a
    Communication User
  • follows payroll charges
  • CU fee rate is calculated by dividing the cost by
    number of users.
  • Charges for Med Center, postdoctoral fellows,
    graduate students, and off-campus customers will
    increase at different percentages from on-campus
    rates
  • Off-campus rates will include costs for the
    communication line from the off-campus site back
    to the main campus network.
  • Postdoctoral fellow rates will increase from 33
    of a standard Communications User to 40 in the
    first year, and by an additional 5 each
    succeeding year.
  • Graduate student rates, charged to the academic
    vice chancellors as an element of instruction,
    will be raised from 20 to 30 of a standard
    Communications User because of a significant
    increase in data use.

15
NGN Communication User Fee
  • Contract and Grants pay proportionate
    CU Fees based on percentage of
    salary of User (grants vs. non-grants)
  • CU paid fully or partially by grant, CU fee paid
    by grant
  • If CU is paid primarily by nongrant
  • Postdoctoral fellow rates will increase from 33
    of a standard Communications User to 40 in the
    first year, and by an additional 5 each
    succeeding year.
  • Graduate student rates, charged to the academic
    vice chancellors as an element of instruction,
    will be raised from 20 to 30 of a standard
    Communications User because of a significant
    increase in data use.
  • GAAP was used to set the rates, and then were
    confirmed by outside auditors.

NGN Communication User Fee Schedule
17
NGN Communication User (CU) Fee
  • We believe CU Fee Model is fair
  • Good bridging model between individual charges
    and overall, overhead service charges
  • As the gap between voice and data grows smaller,
    and the need for computing services in most jobs
    becomes unavoidable, such services move more into
    the realm of being a utility service (such as
    electricity and water).
  • Costs are more accurately identified and assessed
    when charged by user.
  • Lowers overhead costs
  • Determining actual costs for all services is
    costly model provides a very close approximation
    without overhead of actual bill
