Informatics

The Informatics Technical Infrastructure (ITI) manages the computer and network infrastructure in the IGC. We are responsible for maintaining almost all of the central and administrative IT of the IGC.

Some of services provided by the ITI includes E-Mail, VPN, printing, hosting of servers and services for researchers, administrative and collaborative Intranet services, central data storage, database and web site maintenance, surveillance and access control, consulting, training and support.

The ITI managed services rely heavily on Open Source and we strive to support equally all of the Windows, Mac and Linux platforms on IGC desktops, workstations and common computing facilities.

The IGC network infrastructure is almost exclusively gigabit, for servers and desktops, and we have full Wi-Fi coverage indoors and on selected areas outdoors. The IGC Internet connection is provided by FCCN Academic Network RCTS Services with a bandwidth of 50 Mbit/sec.
