ACTI-OCI Mission

The Optimizing Computing Infrastructure (OCI) Working Group will look at the consolidation of IT infrastructure on campuses for both research and administrative computing. New technology has created new opportunities for centralized efficiency and economy, while retaining departmental control/autonomy. By looking at specific issues inherent in consolidation, the group will develop methodologies, recommendations, best practices, and other materials intended to guide campuses looking to consolidate their IT infrastructure.

This group was created during the July 2011 ACTI membership meeting, with the first call of the group held in October 2011. For the latest information on the group's activities, see the January 10, 2012 ACTI-OCI Status Report.
