5. SLG - Software Asset Management Sassafras K2 Project What is SLG? The University Software Licensing Group (SLG) is a University-wide body that assists in assessing the software needs for the University community; identifies appropriate software to respond to those needs; negotiates licenses; and distributes software obtained from its licensing activity. Project Details Metering/Tracking Tool: (aka Sassafras K2) Tracks applications installed as well as usage statistics, providing critical data to achieving cost savings going forward as well as re-evaluating current resources and maintaining compliance. Zero Cost to End-user: Research & Teaching software packages managed/funded by SLG are available for University-owned computers at no cost. Software Distribution: SLG managed software is available for download from the SLG website (http://software.uconn.edu). Users are required to authenticate using their NETID. Software is available for use on UNIVERSITY OWNED MACHINES only and can only be accessed for download by FACULTY and STAFF. Students and researchers looking to use the software from their personal machine can utilize the UConn vPC (http://vpc.uconn.edu).http://vpc.uconn.edu Current Research & Teaching software applications managed by SLG: NVivo SAS SPSS Minitab How does this impact Deans and Departments? Effective July 1, 2012 – new process for obtaining University managed software for Research & Teaching Faculty/Staff will have self-service access to the software listed above Cost will no longer burden departmental or grants/contracts budgets For installation on University-owned machines ONLY Customization for additional software and departmental level reporting coming in Phase II How does this impact Faculty? Effective July 1, 2012 – new process for obtaining University managed software for Research & Teaching University-owned machines running current and future versions of the above software will be required to install/run Sassafras K2 Where are we today? – Currently we have 1800+ machines registered with K2. This number includes 400 vPC machines. The remaining machines are faculty, researcher, and lab machines. To date we have machines at all five regionals, UCHC, UConn Law and Storrs. The University realized an immediate $50,000 savings by closing duplicate contracts for SPSS and SAS at UCHC as a result of this project.

7. UConn vPC http://vpc.uconn.edu UConn vPC: Your computer lab. Anywhere. Anytime. The UConn vPC is a virtual computer lab that allows you to use UConn software and resources from anywhere in the world (including your PC, Mac or iPad)! Born out of a collaboration between Business, Engineering, and the Library, the UConn vPC is transitioning into a UConn-wide service with growth funded by the Student Technology Fee. Where are we today? Anyone with a NetID can use a virtual lab computer and access UConn Software, student P:\ drive. 4,000 students in STATS 1000/1001 using Minitab this fall 150 simultaneous users 24/7 average / ~225 peak 8AM-8PM Over 10% of student population had used vPC by Spring 2012 Significant usage between 12AM-8AM, when no other labs are open on campus. Benefits for students Students have free access to Microsoft Windows, Office, Dreamspark for personal devices, including Macs Simplifying access to Minitab, SPSS and other licensed applications Access from anywhere, anytime, not just traditional physical labs Allow students to run PC applications on MAC platform Students have 10 GB of space to store their work Students no longer need to purchase Minitab, saving them $25 each Benefits for faculty Making the faculty role easier Valuable tool for distance and online learning Simple, reliable access to course-related software tools Fewer technical issues to manage in and out of the classroom We want to meet with groups of faculty to brainstorm ideas on how you might use the UConn vPC. Please contact feedback@vpc.uconn.edu if interested.feedback@vpc.uconn.edu What’s Next? Geographically redundant physical architecture | Individualized configurations for departments | Larger scalability and higher performance | Integration with Sassafras K2 | Integration with UConn HPC | More to come
