 Department
Network
The department maintains three Windows 2003 servers in support
of our labs. These servers are used for security of the PC
network, network management, resource sharing, student
data and web hosting. A SunFire V440 fileserver, the heart of the UNIX
High Performance Systems (CS only
viewable webpage) provides NFS, mail and SMB services. A SunFire V240 webserver supports department web service.

The department maintains seven PC and Sun labs which are upgraded on a three-year
life cycle. All labs have networked
printers to support the classrooms. We have assembled an Information Assurance
lab and the Cyber Defense Exercise was held April 2006. In addition to the above labs, we also have a Robotics
lab, an Architecture lab, a Modeling, Simulation & Graphics lab, and a
Midshipmen Research lab.
