A New Server in Town



Frankly our lab server had seen better days. Namely when it was new before the turn of the century!

The Computer Science department wants to thank Computer Science Alumni and adjunct, Scott Walton, for lending his expertise to build a new test database server for the A119 lab. Scott combined putting together the server with putting together a show for his Comp 201, Introduction to Database students as he showed them the tricks and pitfalls for putting together a new 64 bit machine from scratch. That's real hands-on!

Now our students have a new test platform that can be configured and allow access to the latest tools. We appreciate Scott helping us out with our new ‘toy’ for the lab! Thanks, Scott!
