Monday 3:00-4:00 pm, IU Innovation Center
Thanks to Anna Radue of UITS, conference attendees can tour IU's new Data Center. This 82,700-square-foot, $32.7 million facility is a low-profile, single-story bunkered building designed to protect the University’s critical computers - like Big Red and Quarry - and networking equipment. Three 11,000-square-foot machine rooms house IU’s supercomputers, massive data storage systems, and thousands of virtual servers - and can withstand an F5 tornado!
Tuesday 5:00-7:00 pm
Join your colleagues for drinks, music, and friendly brainteasing about your favorite Hoosier state.
