这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 目的：为威斯康星州国家灵长类动物研究中心的研究、服务单位和日常运营提供计算、数据管理和网络服务。该股由股长、两名程序员、一名高级技术专家、一名技术员和一名兼职学生支持技术员组成。 网络基础设施包括：15台基于Unix的服务器，用于集中计算、文件服务和网络服务，包括用于托管一般用户帐户的SunBlade 1000和用于托管电子邮件网关、Web服务和数据库服务的Sun V240。正在配置Sun T5220系统以提供虚拟化服务、数据库镜像和服务备份。其他8个系统是Apple XServe服务器，它们提供测试和报告服务、使用轻量级目录访问协议(LDAP)的目录服务、Web服务、协作服务(日历/维基)、备份和存档以及电子邮件服务。我们还有一个基于Unix的“网格”集群(Apple BioInformation Workgroup Group)，它由一个头节点和三个末端节点组成，用于运行计算密集型生物信息学程序。我们还为我们的遗传学服务和免疫服务单位托管了几个应用程序服务器，并为灵长类门户网站和灵长类衰老数据库托管了网络服务器。 集中式数据存储通过高度可扩展的存储区域网络(SAN)提供，目前由5台文件服务器、1台存储网络管理服务器、1台管理故障转移服务器和34 TB的RAID存储组成。 分布式计算资源的形式是大约200台台式麦金塔电脑、20台笔记本电脑和几台个人电脑。网络设施基于交换式以太网虚拟局域网(VLAN)，通过2 Gbit光纤链路将我们的建筑物和卫星位置连接到威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校校园范围的10 Gbit主干。Cisco Pix防火墙可保护灵长类中心本地网络不受园区和互联网的影响。除大学研究园疫苗实验室使用的防火墙和设备外，所有网络设备均由校园网络管理局--信息技术部拥有，并由信息技术部和信息技术和系统服务股协作管理。 进度： 2009年，信息技术和安全局继续开发和改进基于网络的动物记录系统。对治疗系统进行了额外的工作，包括在线确认动物护理人员正在进行的处方治疗。实施了手术监测系统，以实现手术恢复里程碑的实时输入。实现了手术点评的实时录入。化学条目和报告模块被添加到临床病理学页面。该模块从我们的外部实验室服务供应商导入以电子方式提交的结果，并将结果格式化以供临床病理工作人员审查和批准。然后，结果会自动通过电子邮件发送给PI和兽医工作人员，并自动输入动物记录系统。 9月份，WNPRC获得了一项补充资金，用于与一家软件公司合作，为非人类灵长类动物开发现代电子健康记录。信息技术支持系统参与系统的规划和开发，以及系统软件工具和服务器的设置和管理。 信息技术服务中心继续开发和改进中心基于网络的业务系统，以及用于向工作人员提供和核实对标准作业程序(SOP)文件的接受情况的系统，跟踪中心工作人员和大学维护人员的结核病检测结果和遵守情况，以及与赠款管理人员进行赠款对账项目。 我们看到2007年实施的SAN系统的使用率有所增加。所有服务单位和大多数研究实验室现在都在使用SAN集中存储重要数据，并在小组成员之间共享数据。我们正在为SAN增加20 TB的存储空间。 ITSS取代了25个台式机和20个老化的笔记本电脑系统。系统被“级联”，以淘汰最旧的系统，将新系统放在最新技术对性能影响最大的地方。每购买一台新计算机，至少升级两台计算机。在服务器方面，根据基本赠款提案中提出的计划，将3台服务器升级为新硬件。 信息技术服务中心继续为工作人员举办各种主题的“棕色袋子”技术讲座。 信息技术支持服务涉及许多期刊文章，这些文章部分或全部依赖WNPRC的资源。 注：与艾滋病有关。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective: To provide computing, data management, and networking services to support research, service units, and daily operations of the Wisconsin National Primate Research Center. The unit consists of the unit head, two programmers, a senior technical specialist, a technician, and a part time student support technician. The cyber-infrastructure consists of: 15 UNIX-based servers for centralized computing, file services, and network services, including, SunBlade 1000, which hosts general user accounts and a Sun V240, which hosts the email gateway, web services, and database services. A Sun T5220 system has is being configured to provide virtualization services, database mirroring, and services backup. The other 8 systems are Apple Xserve servers, which provide test and report services, directory services using the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), web services, collaboration services (calendar / wiki), backup and archive, and Email services. We also have a UNIX-based "grid" cluster (Apple Bioinformatics Workgroup Cluster), consisting of one head node and three end nodes, that is used to run compute-intensive bioinformatics programs. We also host several application servers for our Genetics services and Immunology services units and web servers for Primate Portal and the Primate Aging Database. Centralized data storage is provided via a highly scalable Storage Area Network (SAN) currently consisting of 5 file servers, a storage network administration server, an administration failover server, and 34 Terabytes of RAID storage. Distributed computing resources take the form of approximately 200 desktop Macintoshes, 20 laptops and a few PCs. Networking facilities are based on a switched ethernet virtual local area network (VLAN) that connects our buildings and satellite locations to the campus wide 10 Gbit backbone of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, via 2 Gbit fiber-optic links. A Cisco Pix Firewall protects the primate center local network from the campus and Internet. All network equipment, except the firewall and equipment used at the vaccine laboratory at University Research Park, is owned by the campus network authority, the Department of Information Technology (DoIT), and managed collaboratively by DoIT and the Information Technology and Systems Services Unit. Progress: In 2009, the ITSS unit continued to develop and improve the web based animal records system. Additional work was done on the treatment system including on-line acknowledgement of prescribed treatments being fulfilled by animal care staff. The surgery monitoring system was implemented to enable real time entry of surgery recovery milestones. Real time entry of surgery comments was implemented. A Chemistry entry and report module was added to the Clinical Pathology page. The module imports electronically submitted results from our external laboratory services vendor and formats the results for review and approval by clinical pathology staff. The results are then automatically emailed to the PI and veterinary staff, and automatically entered into the animal records system. In September, the WNPRC was granted a supplement to develop, in collaboration with a software company, a modern electronic health record for non human primates. ITSS is involved in the planning and development of the system as well as the set up and administration of software tools and servers for the system. ITSS has continued to develop and improve the Center's web based business systems as well as systems for delivering and verifying acceptance of standard operating procedure (SOP) documents to staff, tracking TB testing results and compliance of center staff and university maintenance staff, and grant reconciliation project with the grants management staff. We saw increased usage of the SAN system that was implemented in 2007. All of the service units and most of the research labs are now using the SAN for central storage of important data and to share data between members of the group. We are in the process of an additional 20 terabytes of storage space, to the SAN. ITSS replaced 25 desktop and 20 aging laptop systems. Systems were "cascaded" in order to retire the oldest systems placing the new systems where the latest technology would have the greatest impact on performance. For each new computer purchased, at least two computers were upgraded. On the server side, 3 servers were upgraded to new hardware according to the plan put forth in the base grant proposal. ITTS continued to host "brown bag" technology talks for staff on various topics. ITSS support is involved in numerous journal articles that depend in part or in full on WNPRC resources.
