Server Room Services
AgIT’s server room (Smith 113) is made available to all College of Ag departments for housing their servers in a secure, environmentally controlled facility providing rack space, power, networking, UPS and access control services.
System Management Services (SMS)
AgIT can provide centralized, automated, enterprise-class services to Agriculture faculty and staff. Microsoft SMS services are available to automate updates and patches of the Windows desktop and server operating systems (OS) and supported software packages. Examples of current software distribution:
- Anti-spyware
- McAfee anti-Virus
- FileMaker Pro
VPN Services
The AgIT VPN server was designed to allow our customers access to networks drives from home, reduce support costs and increase security to the AgIT supported network. The network shares were previously closed to the Purdue VPN because if they were open it would give access to the entire Purdue Campus including students. This also helps College IT administrators gain secured access to their servers without introducing a large security risk by opening their servers to the Purdue VPN.
