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. Note: AIDS-related.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 目的：提供计算、数据管理和网络服务，以支持威斯康星州国家灵长类动物研究中心的研究、服务单位和日常运作。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助技术员组成。 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，其中包括SunBlade 1000（托管一般用户帐户）和Sun V240（托管电子邮件网关、网络服务和数据库服务）。Sun T5220系统已配置为提供虚拟化服务、数据库镜像和服务备份。 其他8个系统是Apple Xserve服务器，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/wiki）、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 Bioinformatics Workgroup Cluster），由一个头节点和三个端节点组成，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学服务单位托管几个应用程序服务器，并为灵长类动物门户网站和灵长类动物衰老数据库托管网络服务器。 通过高度可扩展的存储区域网络（SAN）提供集中数据存储，该网络目前由5个文件服务器、一个存储网络管理服务器、一个管理故障转移服务器和34 TB 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州麦迪逊大学的校园范围10 Gbit主干网。Cisco Pix防火墙保护灵长类中心本地网络免受校园和互联网的影响。除防火墙和大学研究园疫苗实验室使用的设备外，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共同管理。 进度： 2009年，ITSS部门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，包括动物护理人员正在执行的处方治疗的在线确认。实施手术监测系统，以实现手术恢复里程碑的真实的时间输入。实现了手术评论的真实的实时录入。在临床病理学页面中添加了化学条目和报告模块。该模块从我们的外部实验室服务供应商处导入电子提交的结果，并将结果格式化，以供临床病理学工作人员审查和批准。然后将结果自动通过电子邮件发送给PI和兽医人员，并自动输入动物记录系统。 9月，WNPRC获得了与一家软件公司合作开发非人类灵长类动物现代电子健康记录的补充。信息技术和服务处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。 信息技术服务处继续开发和改进中心的网络业务系统，以及向工作人员提供和核实接受标准操作程序文件的系统，跟踪结核病检测结果和中心工作人员和大学维修人员的遵守情况，并与赠款管理人员进行赠款核对项目。 我们看到2007年实施的SAN系统的使用率有所增加。所有的服务单位和大多数研究实验室现在都使用SAN来集中存储重要数据，并在组成员之间共享数据。我们正在为SAN增加20 TB的存储空间。 信息技术服务系统更换了25台台式计算机和20台老化的膝上型计算机系统。系统被"级联"，以便淘汰最老的系统，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台服务器升级到新硬件。 信息技术和电信服务处继续为工作人员举办各种主题的"棕色袋子"技术讲座。 ITSS的支持涉及许多部分或全部依赖WNPRC资源的期刊文章。 注：与艾滋病有关。
