- | === no Static Information === | ||
- | As all web contents, these pages are subject to change (not every day, I hope), check it if you look for some information on services available. If you have a problem, before ask to the System Administrator for a solution, check the [[start|quick start]] and the [[faq|faq]] sections, maybe your answer is already there. | ||

- | == Use of our network == | ||
- | We are trying to maintain the use of the network and his services the most simple possible from the user point of view (so the System Administrators can sleep more in the morning). To reach this result, we use mostly open source software and open source platforms because they have the widest possibility of combination and are free. Where this is impossible, due to proprietary code, we try to integrate these solutions and hide the details so the users don't have to worry about using different interfaces. | ||
- | |||
- | == How == | ||
- | Open Source Platform in our case means // | ||
- | * The server configurations are completely transparent from the point of view of the users. We have a lot of different servers, all running // | ||
- | * On the linux workstations you can find a lot of software already installed, for productivity, | ||
- | |||
- | == Different World == | ||
- | We know that not all user of computer use // | ||
- | The configuration of our network already use different solutions to permit access to file servers, printers, and other resources to all these Operating Systems, for the most part without or with just a little effort from the users. | ||
- | |||
- | == Different Networks == | ||
- | Only few years ago, the word //network// meant cables, a lot of cables. Today we live in the wireless revolution: some laptops, some antennas and 1 cable (if necessary) and the network is ready. It's so simple? **no**, but don't worry, the new kind of problem generated by the wireless revolution are managed at best. The solutions implemented in our configurations permit to users of wireless laptops to access the resouces of our network (based mainly on wired connections) with little effort. Most of the time the user can access the files server and the networks printer directly, without change on the configuration of his/hers laptops. | ||
