APPLAUSE AWARDS
Andru Luvisi, Larry Tenorio and Dustin Mollo,
Computer Operations
I would like to applaud Andru Luvisi in IT's Computer Operations group for the service he provided the Center for Distributed Learning on Dec. 15, when the power to the machine room and the co-location facility our servers are housed in had to be turned off. After Larry Tenorio and Dustin Mollo contacted me at home to apprise me of the current situation and impending power outage I determined that I did not have remote access to the servers since SSU's network was already down. Andru then got on the phone and he worked with me to shut down our seven servers gracefully and then turned them back on once power was restored three hours later, at approximately 8 p.m. I really appreciated not having to drive in to handle the task myself as I was home sick with a nasty flu. By contacting me and going the extra mile to restart my servers they saved me a lot of worry, and helped CDL continue to provide services to the communities we serve. Thanks Andru, Larry and Dustin!
