Welcome

The mission of the OCIO Network Management & Engineering group is to provide leadership and support in data communications to the Laboratory as a whole and to physics research in particular.

In support of the mission, members of the group will pursue the following activities

Network Engineering

• Coordinate and exchange information with network users and provide tools and procedures to help in troubleshooting and accessing network information.
• Provide availability for all SLAC networks commensurate with the expected availability of individual nodes on that network.
• Provide and integrate tools for network management and diagnosis.
• Provide techniques to discover, isolate, fix and track network problems in such a way as to maximize availability.
• Monitor the network and add increased capacity to provide adequate performance. Advise management on capacity planning to handle observed and projected growth.
• Provide record keeping on network configurations and use this to manage the network.
• Provide high quality access to/from off-site.
• Provide appropriate network security.
