History with OHNS, Stanford 99-present
During my time with OHNS we did the best with the budget we were given. We have always put the
OHNS Department needs first. We were the quiet IT leadership in the background.
We took the lead with OHNS department implementations we put in place for the needs, growth and
changes over the years since I started with OHNS in 1999, guiding the department along the way from the
IT prospective – balancing leadership in the technology field and the needs of Faculty and OHNS on a
minimum budget, keeping things simple, stable and working throughout. We worked with and in
conjunction with many of Stanford’s great departments to resolve issues and get things done in the
background to minimize any technology impact on the users so they could focus on their work.
OHNS has grown several hundred percent under Chair Dr. Jackler’s leadership over the years and
believe will continue to grow.
We were one of the first and few Department’s that had a firewall in place while some questioned the
need of a firewall at the time when most of Stanford was wide open – after most of Stanford was hit and
down in mid-2000’s, Stanford joined our stance; that an open network was no longer safe and eventually
implemented firewalls throughout– we still have our own blade in place.
We put in Exchange Server in 1999 from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000, to Exchange 2003, then
Exchange 2007. In 2015 as Stanford decided to move to Exchange, we advised the Department to switch
(liability reason’s alone made sense) and helped migrate onto the Stanford mail services on Exchange–
working together we were able to do so with minimal downtime and impact to our users
We implemented Server side and client Antivirus protection in 1999, before Stanford IT.
We are proud and fortunate; our environment and servers were never offline more than a few hours and
mostly on scheduled weekends hours to minimize impact to staff. All on a minimal budget of coverage
that grew to 16 hours a week.
