NACS has merged its network security activities into the Central Computing Services group, which has been renamed Central Computing and Security (CCS). UCI’s Network Security Coordinator Mike Iglesias, and network security staff member John Lenning, are now a part of CCS. John Mangrich has also been reassigned to the group, and serves as CCS Manager.

In addition to UCInet network security duties, CCS designs and operates UCI’s central computing services, including the “EA” system for undergraduates, “gradEA” for graduate students, “E4E” for faculty and staff, “Orion” (enhanced services for faculty and staff), USENET news service, campus FTP service, and the server hosting UCI’s web site.

Other staff in CCS are:

• Joseph Farran, Cluster Architect
• Ted Gielow, UNIX Systems Administrator and Lead Programmer
• David Mussoff, UNIX Systems Administrator
• Minh Vo, UNIX Systems Administrator
• John Ward, Enterprise Services Architect

Garrett Hildebrand continues his role as NACS Network Planner, and is currently working with Cal(IT)2 to address their leading-edge research network needs.
