Upgrades

Attended a talk today about the upgrade of UBC's network from supporting VLANs to supporting VRFs. Complicated but neat. I'm hoping that the presentation slides and video will make it to the IT Services website; I'll post a link if it does.

Also interesting is this external review of the IT department at UBC. It touches on some things I've been peripherally involved or interested in (funding models, culture and management); I've only skimmed it so far, but it's fascinating to read something so straightforward.
