Got a Web site? Prepare to migrate

nformation Technology Services (ITS) is encouraging faculty and staff who maintain Web sites on the University's main server (www.rochester.edu) to attend upcoming training sessions in preparation for a move to a dual-server system on March 8. The introduction of the second server, managed by ITS, is designed to provide improved security, failsafe technology, and increased speed. It will also create a development environment for information providers to test their Web pages before making them "live."

Using the new development server, information providers will be able to preview their work as it will appear on the Internet without actually having it "linked" to www.rochester.edu. In order to move sites from the development server to www.rochester.edu, providers will need to use a utility program called "Deploy."

To help facilitate the migration to the new server, ITS has scheduled several training sessions over the next month. To view the schedule, visit www.rochester.edu/its/web/deploy_train.html.
