  Environment.

2
Background

• TALSS has a responsibility for significant IT
  related infrastructure including
• OLT
• OLT Related Applications
• Labs and Lab Management
• TALSS file storage and workspace
• Added to this complexity is the need to provide

Motivation For Review

• There is a need to develop an infrastructure
  that
• Is robust and reliable
• Is simple and easy to manage
• Makes effective use of our financial resources
• Provides a foundation for ever changing strategic
  ambitions
• Supports more advanced attitudes to business
  continuity
• Supports more advanced attitudes to systems
  management
• Allows innovation and experimentation in a
  managed space

Key Elements

• OLT Infrastructure
• Simplified with clear growth paths simple
  building blocks
• Always on service delivery BCP and system
  independence
• TL Applications
• Professionally managed, upgraded, backed up etc
• Easily integrated with other ITS, University,
  external systems
• Innovation
• Robust development and experimentation paths
• Cross platform
• TALSS Infrastructure
• Managed space, that allows easy collaboration and
  resource management

7
Other Elements

• Clear Service Delivery Expectations
• Infrastructure closely aligned with
  TALSS/TILS/QUT strategic goals
• Educational Technology
• Online Learning and Teaching
• Innovation Support
• Reduction in non managed infrastructure and
  environments
• Allows TALSS and University staff to concentrate
  on the value added elements rather than
  infrastructure needs.
