Symplectic Elements research information system — TENANT

Cambridge's current research information system (CRIS) is Symplectic Elements, reached at elements.admin.cam.ac.uk. The host sits under cam.ac.uk but resolves via CNAME to cam.elements.symplectic.org -> cam-prod.elements.symplectic.org on Symplectic infrastructure, and answers HTTP 401 to anonymous requests. The University's Open Research site (openresearch.cam.ac.uk) links it as the institutional deposit route. Cambridge's research data, Symplectic's contract — recorded as a tenant relationship, with no Symplectic spec saved under this institution.
