CLA IT Systems
Network Systems
The systems used in Liberal Arts are diverse. Our network systems consist of a centralized college network -- various servers and applications which provide file services, print serving, mail and post office, group calendaring, web services, software metering, and backup of central servers. Departmental networks, in some areas, provide similar services to a particular department.
The network environments maintained by CLA IT include the following:
- Windows 2003: In a Microsoft Active Directory-based environment, our network servers provide file, print, and database services to the administrative areas and most academic departments and computer labs. We use Microsoft Exchange 2003 to provide centralized e-mail and on-line calendar services to faculty and staff. Microsoft Internet Information Server 6 is used for our web services. Microsoft SQL Server provides a database back-end.
- Mac OS X Server seamlessly integrates some Mac OS X-based workstations into our network environment.
- Linux provides other resources used in the administration and support of college systems.
- KeyServer: Our Sassafras KeyServer concurrent software license metering software provides service to both the Mac and Windows platforms.
Faculty, Staff, and Student Workstations
Desktop and/or notebook workstations at each faculty and staff member's desk, plus those in the college's instructional and graduate labs, use the Windows XP or Mac OS X operating systems. Click here for more information about the software available on a typical workstation.
