Thirty virtual servers running Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 support the network. These thirty servers are in a virtual environment on eight physical host servers. Virtualization allows the servers to move between the eight physical machines. If one of the eight fails, the virtual servers are relocated to another physical server to continue running smoothly and without any down time noticed by teachers and students. Virtualization has also greatly reduced energy consumption as well as La Salle’s carbon footprint.
The Office of Information Technology is staffed by individuals who not only have industry recognized certifications, but are committed to sharing their knowledge and expertise with students. In addition to their IT responsibilities, all members of the IT staff work with students in curricular and extracurricular programs.
