Main network services offered by the Elettra Information Technology dept.
Local Area Network (LAN)The Elettra Local Area Network is based on layer 3 switching technology on a core backbone of 10 Gbps with 1 Gbps available for desktop computers. Wireless networks are available for local staff or guests too.
|
Mail and collaborationThe Elettra e-mail service provides any user with 5 GB e-mail space. This value can be changed upon request via a ticket (Richiesta Intervento IT on the Virtual Unified Office).
|
Remote AccessBy the SSH (Secure SHell) service and VPN (Virtual Private Networl) it is possible to connect to the Elettra Intranet from the Internet in a very secure way.
|
File sharingA cloud-based fileserver is also available for all people using an @elettra.eu Unipass account. With it files and folders can be synchronised with personal computers for offline use, or only online access can be used as well with no disk space waste on the client side. Also, direct file sharing to and from the outside partners is possible. All the computers connected to the LAN can also access the file server sincro-share, which shares a big disk area, so to share files among the Elettra people: both private and public areas are available. However this service is under decommissioning; we suggest to use the Elettra Drive. |
PrintingA great number of network laser printers is present at the lab. The necessary print queues are handled by the print.elettra.trieste.it server. |
