Co-Location Center

Information Technology Services (ITS) has created the Co-Location Center to provide other University units with machine room environmental conditions and networking infrastructure.

An ITS Charge Account (formerly P-Account) must be established for billing purposes.

All applicants requesting for-fee or billable services from ITS or requests funded by a departmental fund, a contract, or a grant must have an ITS Charge Account set up through ITS in order for the charges to be billed. Applicants with currently existing ITS Charge Accounts can request Co-Location services be added to that account by using the Co-Location Center Form. Completed ITS For-Fee Service Request Forms should be sent in duplicate to the appropriate Dean's office and to the ITS Computer Accounts Office, Room 101 Computer Building. This account will expire on the termination date specified though accounts paid through general funds must be reauthorized each fiscal year. All computer use on this account will be direct billed on a monthly basis in accordance with procedure #CR2069 dated 08/04/1993. When the dollar amount listed on the ITS For-Fee Service Request Form has been exceeded by the account, a notice will be sent to the account supervisor asking for additional funds or if the account should be terminated.

Requirements: To apply for Co-Location services, you must:
