NEW Case Study: Princeton University: Domain of One's Own
This project, led by Jason B. Rappaport, Senior Manager of Cloud Enablement and Collaboration Infrastructure, Enterprise Infrastructure Services, Office of Information Technology, Princeton University and his colleagues, offers a view behind the scenes of a large-scale server migration over a period of six months, from April to November 2024. This case study is based on the successful migration of three cPanel servers that constitute the institution’s Domain of One’s Own project, and illustrates the technology and collaboration involved. This case study shows how the collaborative effort between the Office of Information Technology, their campus partners and Reclaim Hosting, ensured the desired outcome for stakeholders across campus, resulting in the successful and timely completion of the project.
