Server Hosting
The central Data Center array in the Computing Division allows for hosting single servers or whole server racks.
The array includes, among others:
- Modern electric infrastructure fed from two separate lines, supported by a modern UPS system which is backed up by a generator autonomously activated in an event of an interruption of the electricity supply from the university grid.
- Fast communication connections, direct to the university’s central communications hub.
- Professional installation in dedicated server racks.
