NIH Enterprise IT Architecture—Update
The NIH Enterprise IT Architecture applies to all aspects of information technology at NIH, including systems, infrastructure, products, and designs, developed internally and by outside contractors. Learn how it applies to your project.
New NIH Password Policy Is in Effect
The new policy ensures the flow of information so important to conducting research and improving public health, yet provides a defense against potential intruders.
The NIH Portal Is Better Than Ever
Access to information and data you use daily has just gotten easier with the new NIH Portal. The
update has an enhanced "Communities" environment that enables collaboration by people grouped for
a project, within an organization, or using certain applications such as nVision, NBS. The new Portal
is integrated with the NIH Web Directory, and Exchange (including Outlook's e-mail and calendar).

Let CIT do the work of hosting your application, while your staff concentrates on what you are expert at—your application.

The new co-location site at NIH—double the size of the current site—will be able to accommodate much more equipment.
ACSI Arrives at NIH—CIT to Evaluate Web Sites
CIT, NIH, and HHS will soon begin evaluating the NIH Portal and selected NIH web sites. CIT's
portion of the project is designed to measure customer satisfaction with six Web sites and to improve
service.
nVision New Business Area—Technology Transfer
The new nVision business area reporting tool—Technology Transfer—replaces and modernizes the one in the Data Warehouse. It provides in-depth data to the management staff working with NIH
invention portfolios.
CIT's Backup and Recovery of Your Servers—Files Are Stored Off-Site
CIT offers automatic backup and recovery for your servers—wherever they are located. NBARS
provides a secure, centralized service that you can configure for your needs—leaving decisions
and control in your hands. All backed-up data is stored in the secure NIH Data Center, and a
copy is sent every night to our off-site facility in Baltimore.
NBARS Users—New Client Software Is Available for Windows
A new version of the Tivoli Storage Manager client software for Windows has been configured for the NIH environment.
Disaster Recovery Tests in 2005
CIT will hold disaster recovery tests this year in July and December. Our hot-site tests are ideal for ensuring that you have a viable disaster recovery plan for your critical application.
Do You Use the NIH Data Center's Printers?
The location for picking up output has changed temporarily while the NIH Data Center's Output Distribution Services (building 12A) is under construction. You will still be able to get your output
in 12A—just in a different place.
