You can use your SJSUOne account to edit web sites in the http://www.sjsu.edu/ domain. The University Web Services can provide you access to development and staging directories to perform your web design. If you are using WebDAV the settings on the WebDAV page provides the standard settings.

Data Center

Systems run by University Computing Systems Department are rack mounted in a monitored, climate controlled, physically restricted cold room with dual UPS and climate controls. System backups are via our central backup system that includes a disk spool and tape library system. Servers are manually and automatically monitored for availability, processes, CPU, disk utilization, and other critical elements.

Anti-Spam Solution

University Computing Systems answered the user calls for a flexible, affordable anti-spam solution. The campus needed a system that would work for all 30+ e-mail systems on campus without deleting important e-mail accidentally.

The solution was to deploy an open-source spam tagging system at the SMTP gateway that uses a series of algorithms to determine if an e-mail is spam. The system marks suspect e-mail with the phrase [[JUNK]] in the subject line of the e-mail. Users can set their e-mail client to take the appropriate action in filtering suspect mail into a special folder before deleting.

In order offer spam tagging to all 30+ campus e-mail systems, we are unable to offer individual filtering and other features that this and other anti-spam systems can provide. More anti-spam features would require the e-mail systems to be administered by UCAT. Meanwhile, we've provided Lotus Notes users with additional tips for individualized filtering options. See your technician for more information.

Campus Anti-Virus Solution

UCAT negotiated the acquisition of desktop and server anti-virus for all SJSU-owned computers and servers. Your desktop support has the software and can install anti-virus software.
