  • Home-grown financial data warehouse

  • Various other in-house applications (i.e., Electronic Portfolio, Media images database)

  • Approximately 15 production and 24 development/test instances are supported.

Additionally, there are five Microsoft SQL Server 2005 databases, used for a handful of applications (event management system, financial aid, OrgPlus).

Wesleyan uses Oracle's Internet Application Server (10.2gIAS), running on Linux Red Hat, for serving up database information on the web, allowing for both secured and unsecured access.

Databases and IAS servers are managed via Oracle's Enterprise Manager Grid Control.
