All services coordinated by the CS are provided through collaboration with the Direzione Edilizia e Telecomunicazioni
and in particular with the Settore Rete, Telecomunicazioni e Fonia - Serra (formerly known as SERRA,
then subsequently ex-ICT), which provides connectivity to the Internet for the entire University, as well as with the
Sistema Informatico Dipartimentale (SID), and in particular with Polo 2.
The department has also had a contract with eLabor since the beginning of 2015. They provide CS with system support for the Departmental servers .
In particular, support for all nature of problems is provided directly by SERRA and SID-Polo2: the University WIFI network and EDUROAM connection problems; the structured wiring system present in the Departmental studies and offices for both telephone, all VOIP, as well as for data. They also provide general support for all other general purpose PCs in various studies and offices.
The CS is directly responsible for:
-
Organization and maintenance of the Servers Rooms where the Scientific Research Servers are situated, as well as those of the various research groups within the Department, and also monitoring services for both the network and the correct functioning of all machinery.
-
Organization and maintenance of the Communal Departmental Servers available for use by all academics who gravitate around the Department of Mathematics.
-
Organization and maintenance of the Computational Laboratories of the Department:
Currently there are two:-
Aula 3, named after Salvatore Ciampa, which has 12 Linux Multimedia Workstations, a network printer, Board and Projector.
-
Aula 4, which has 25 Linux Multimedia Workstations and a network printer.
The dedicated servers in the computer room provide all services necessary for the smooth operation of these two laboratories.
-
-
The organization and maintenance of resources dedicated to the PHC advanced teaching initiative, which allows mathematics students to familiarize themselves with the latest technology.i
-
Support for the various Research Group Laboratories.
-
Support for the individual needs of scholars within the Department (hardware, software or experimentation):
contact the Director of the CS -
Support in-training initiatives, research and dissemination of Mathematics.
In particular, any proposals to install software onto the server in the departmental and Computational Laboratories, any proposals to provide new services or suggestions for the improvement of services already being offered, or for a change in the policy for accessing resources, should be addressed to the Director of the CS.
Furthermore any reports of malfunctions that persist after the Technical staff from SID-Polo2 have intervened should be addressed to the Director of the CS and the representative of the Department in CIS-Polo2 and, should that not suffice, the Director of the Department.
