The Computing Center is a fully networked system of servers, storage arrays, and peripherals. This state-of-the-art facility provides research, academic, and administrative computing power with servers for the OpenVMS, UNIX, and Windows 2000 operating systems. The data and computing processes are protected by redundant servers, storage arrays, tape backups, and multiple firewall levels.
The CCCT has data bases with comprehensive data for all studies. The data for previous studies are stored as flat files in OpenVMS Compaq Alpha cluster; data for current studies are stored in Windows 2000 Microsoft SQL Server. Customized programs, SAS, STATA, and Crystal Reports are used to analyze data and generate reports.
A variety of tools help us develop web applications and web sites. These include the Microsoft .NET technology and ColdFusion for developing web applications, Dreamweaver for developing web sites, Photoshop and Fireworks for developing web graphics, and FastStats Analyzer for reading web log files to produce web activity statistical reports.
