The construction of the system will directly affect our future informatization development direction, "said Ren Jinnan, assistant director of the Network Information Center of Zhuhai Campus of Beijing Normal University." Of course, choosing Sun also means choosing a technology for us. We The problem now is that there are not many Sun ONE certified engineers. In this way, we will have some talent difficulties when doing projects. However, through our efforts and the cooperation of Sun, we gradually overcome the difficulties and tasted The fruit of the 'unified planning, unified construction, and unified management' mechanism, we have full confidence to build the information platform of the Beijing Normal University Zhuhai Campus into a domestic first-class level. "

The Zhuhai Campus of Beijing Normal University was formally approved by the Ministry of Education in March 2002. It is a national higher education reform pilot unit and a subsidiary of Beijing Normal University. Its nature is the same as that of Beijing Normal University, and it is a state-owned public institution. The Ministry of Education has specifically approved "actively exploring new management models and operating mechanisms" for this school model.

As a fully market-oriented school, the Beijing Normal University Zhuhai Campus realized during the preparation that the goal of the “Tenth Five-Year” development plan and the realization of a “comprehensive, distinctive, and research world-renowned high-level university” should be achieved. In addition to a series of educational innovations, building a first-class digital campus in domestic universities is also an important part of achieving development planning. At the beginning of the construction, the campus established the principle of "unified planning, unified construction, unified management, and hierarchical use" of the information platform and implemented it.

Plan carefully

Since April 2001, the Network Information Center of Zhuhai Campus of Beijing Normal University has started systematic research, visited and inspected many schools in the north and south of the University, frequently participated in various exchange meetings and seminars organized by IT vendors, and visited Singapore, Some well-known universities in Hong Kong try to find the most reasonable and economical system planning and architecture to meet the future development needs of the school.

After one year of planning and program demonstration, the information construction of the Zhuhai campus of Beijing Normal University has established two goals. One is to become the first-class digital campus in the country; the other is to become a successful case of digital campus at home and abroad.

How to achieve these two goals? The establishment of the network information center relies on three technologies, four methods, and five contents for guarantee.

The so-called three technologies refer to the entire informatization construction. We must insist on the use of computer technology, multimedia technology, and network technology to form a highly informationized talent training environment, promote high-level teacher-student interaction, and promote collaborative and research-based learning. Promote scientific and efficient management, expand the education carrying capacity of the park and the area covered by education, and better cultivate students' information literacy and innovation capabilities. .

The four methods refer to digital information management methods, digital education and teaching methods, digital lifestyles, and digital communication and communication methods. The campus is digitalized and networked from teaching to life, from management to communication, and the school is truly digitized.

Whether it is technology or method, it is a matter of principle and policy. When it comes to implementation, what should be implemented?

The Network Information Center divides the construction of the digital campus of Beijing Normal University Zhuhai Campus into five contents: digital physical platform, digital resources, digitization of office management, digitization of education and teaching and digitization of campus life.

The Network Information Center is very cautious when formulating these frameworks. Because the school's informatization must not be accomplished overnight. There must be steps and plans. If the overall planning is not comprehensive at the initial stage, or even wrong, the later revisions and revisions will be very costly or even overwhelming.

After one year and two months of research, planning, and demonstration, the Zhuhai Campus of Beijing Normal University has a mature construction plan, completed the design of the information framework, and has been implemented under this framework.

"When we were planning last year, we went to not only schools, but also telecommunications and financial companies. We regarded campus informatization as a service platform, and we will encapsulate network management, security, billing, and customer service into BOSS similar to the telecommunications industry. To achieve a unified operation support system and efficiently provide high-quality services to users on campus and outside the campus, "the head of the Network Information Center of Zhuhai Campus of Beijing Normal University told reporters.

Key selection

In fact, in the face of the many technologies of many manufacturers, the network information center took a lot of pains.

Since the entire architecture needs to be very stable in the future, it must be suitable for large-scale applications. Therefore, the network information center has always adhered to five requirements in the selection: mainstream, advanced, stable, expandable and socialized.

In the selection of the middleware system, the key system of the digital campus, the network information center considers that the campus has the ability to build systems and develop applications on the basis of meeting the five basic requirements, so it emphasizes the openness of the middleware system and Exploitability, and put the ability to quickly build applications in a secondary position, and make every effort to avoid the "black box phenomenon."

After a long period of selection, the network information center locked its eyes on Sun ONE. First of all, Sun is a company coming out of the campus, and has always been concerned about the construction of campus informatization. Especially in China, they have been in the education industry for many years and have a good customer base and industry reputation; secondly, Sun ONE has good compatibility and cross-platform characteristics, not only confining the system to a certain hardware system, but also very User investment is well protected. Third, Sun ONE, as an open platform based on J2EE, has many successful experiences in large-scale industry applications, and it is worth learning from the Zhuhai campus of Beijing Normal University.

"Actually, I have visited abroad and found that many large systems are built with Sun ONE because it is open, highly portable, and suitable for any hardware system and platform. This is also the last one we finally decided to choose Sun ONE Catalyst. "Ren Jinnan, assistant director of the Network Information Center, commented.

Apps keep up

In June 2002, the Zhuhai Campus of Beijing Normal University began a real system implementation. In the first phase of the project, they focused on laying the foundation, and their appetite was not big. On the one hand, based on the architecture, they have made a good physical platform and a good framework; on the other hand, they have properly added some software and application systems developed by themselves to standardize the underlying database and data standards.

Now, the physical platform of the entire campus includes the gigabit backbone, 100-megabit switching to the desktop network, voice transmission and multimedia transmission.

In terms of applications, the network information center first established a unified database and unified user management LDAP management throughout the school, and built a unified user service portal. In this way, no matter what application systems are developed in the future, they are all built on a unified database. Users can use information services through a unified service portal. Both the back-end LDAP and the front-end portal system use Sun ONE's architecture and tools.

After the basic architecture is put together, the network information center has begun a more lengthy application system construction work. It is said that it is long because such a large system cannot be achieved overnight. It must be divided into several periods and planned and improved step by step. Now, after the construction of the first phase of the project, the information system of the entire school has begun to take shape. With the mail system, website, user management system, student status management system, and OA (teaching management system), it has been used internally to meet the needs of the school .

In the next phase II project, Zhuhai Branch of Beijing Normal University will implement data centers, video services, and distance education services, and establish a service system for schools and society.

At present, there are nearly 20 people in the network center. Sun also provides engineers for Sun ONE, and occasionally invites technicians from the network center to participate in Sun technical seminars.

"Sun, as the main force in the informatization of the education industry, not only provided us with cost-effective hardware equipment. More importantly, they assisted us to build the middleware system of the campus information platform using Sun ONE, and the construction of this system , Will directly affect our future informatization development direction, "Ren Jinnan said," Of course, choosing Sun also means choosing a technology for us. The problem we are facing now is that there are not many Sun ONE certified engineers. In this way, we will have some talent difficulties when we are doing projects, but through our efforts and the cooperation of Sun, we have gradually overcome the difficulties and tasted the "unified planning, unified construction, unified management" mechanism. As a result, we have full confidence to build the information platform of the Beijing Normal University Zhuhai campus to a domestic first-class level. "
