[Halld-jlab] Networking at remote FDC fabrication site

[Elliott Wolin]

Hi,

The word from the computer folks is that if we plan to place JLab 
desktop computers at a remote site then that site must have security at 
the DOE mandated level for JLab itself.  If the site supports its own 
security system then a massive amount of testing and paperwork needs to 
be generated to prove the site lives up to DOE standards.

Thus the simplest solution, by far, is to let the JLab computer people 
set the remote site up under the JLab security umbrella.  In other 
words, they will set up the network at the remote site to be part of the 
overall JLab network, same as if you were in the EEL building.

Connectivity to JLab can be done through commodity networks, e.g. Cox or 
Verizon.

They can't do the same for phones yet (maybe in a few months), but I 
don't think this will be a problem.

Making this happen will require some advanced planning.  Let me know 
when we know where the site is and when we plan on moving in.

Thanks,
