Computing Infrastructure - Customer (CIC)

What do we do?

Focused primarily on UNIX/Linux, CIC focuses on customer-driven service offerings in addition to specialized services that may not fit into the mix provided by the enterprise group.

CIC will often weigh the benefits of using cutting-edge applications and services with the inherent risks involved to provide the best possible mix of features and reliability. To that end, CIC's focus is more oriented toward strategic IT solutions, as opposed to Enterprise (CIE) infrastructure, which provides many operational "back end" services we leverage.
