Status 
•  No one is happy 
 
•  We’re doing some things to try to make as many 
people happy as soon as is humanly possible 
 
•  So far we have had two primary goals that have had 
no common solution. That seems to be changing. 
3 
Priorities (in order) 
•  IUFS must have the capability of storing critical 
data 
 
•  IUFS price point should be as close to $0.50 per 
GB 
 
•  Ability for group access control, user-driven 
version restoration important  
4 
3- or 4- pronged 
approach 
•  IUFS – Beta testing – time line 2 months to…. 
 
•  IU something something (IURS?) supporting 
research data that must be accessed at high 
speed and/or PHI 
 
•  Intelligent Infrastructure II – time line months 
 
•  Possibly Box for critical data as well 
5 
IUFS Beta 
•  Beta to be launched in Spring 2015 
•  Will last no more than 1 year with exit strategy 
for participants 
•  1 TB max allocations 
•  No after hours support, support through SC 
•  Windows and Mac OS X platforms initially 
6 
IUFS Beta RFP & 
Timeline 
•  RFP being sent out in February 
•  Install and operational by end of March 
•  Pilot period with selected vendor with scale out upon 
successful pilot 
•  Vendor pilot 180 days, IUFS Beta for at least a year 
•  UITS will migrate users to different infrastructure if 
needed 
7 
Capabilities 
•  Essential 
•  Supports critical data 
•  Encryption at rest and in-transit 
•  Pricing approximately $0.50/GB/yr 
•  Important 
•  Support for ADS and ACL based permissions 
•  Snapshots and versioning for at least 60 days 
•  User initiated recovery; no tape or TSM 
•  Replicated between IUPUI and BL DC 
•  CIFS protocol based; NFS possible 
•  TB’s of storage, self healing
