SQL Server Database Hosting

DESCRIPTION

UCF IT will provide users of this service with one SQL server database. These servers will be hosted in UCF IT data center and the software on them will be maintained by UCF IT. Each database owner will be given rights to perform a broad range of administrative and programming activities in their own database(s). However, since this is a shared-server environment, users will be restricted from making certain changes to the server environment that could be detrimental to other users of the same server. In general, service users will be fully able to create and manage objects and administrator security within their database, but server-wide functions, such as administration of disk space
and server-wide security will be provided by UCF IT.

It is the goal of UCF IT to provide SQL server database hosting to as many units as possible to help reduce costs in administration, backups and help increase the security of information.
