IT Services in First Phase to Retire Comp Server

As part of upcoming changes to university-hosted web services, IT Services has begun the process to retire the Comp and Cavern servers. Beginning next Wednesday, June 15, Comp accounts will no longer be automatically created for new university users. Additionally, Comp accounts that have never been used will be deleted.

A survey will be sent next week to users with active or previously-used Comp accounts to help determine possible migration options. Based on survey responses, IT Services will delete unneeded accounts. Active Comp users are encouraged to start migrating their files to other systems.

These changes come as part of the Achieve IT: Campus Web Services project. Project teams are working toward new personal content publishing strategies and implementing best practices to address system vulnerabilities associated with an aging web services delivery model.
