Connecting to the College From Home!!
Did
you know that you can dial directly into the college from your home computer?
If you have a modem with dial up networking properly configured and are
within the local calling area, ITS can show you how.
The remote access dial-in called "BC Intranet" allows access to BC e-mail
and BC websites. You can also access your e-mail and other services via
any third party Internet connection. Join nearly 200 of your peers in
the faculty and administration who already use this facility.
If you'd like to learn more about this
service or receive illustrated instructions, send e-mail to: netgroup@brooklyn.cuny.edu.
(Please use "Dial-up Instructions" as your subject)
New Servers to Serve You
BC
is increasingly dependant on its web infrastructure to deliver critical
information, host courses, and allow access to a variety of campus-wide
databases. To keep pace with the huge demand for access and to reduce
the risk of system failure, ITS recently installed a new set of SUN web
servers. The new servers are configured in a cluster to allow each server
to fail-over to a second, third and even fourth backup system. A set of
sophisticated redundant web-switches routes traffic to the various systems
and can react almost immediately to a perceived system failure. The new
platforms are substantially more powerful than the previous models and
should support the explosive growth anticipated over the next 1-2 years.
ITS has also implemented new streaming media
servers and expects to bring even more powerful media platforms on-line
over the next year, including an extremely high-capacity digital media
distribution system for the new Library.
Web Structure: Weaving a Path That's Easy to Follow
The following is a list of the various areas:
- DEPTHOME.BROOKLYN.CUNY.EDU
Holds OFFICIAL departmental and program web pages. - USERHOME.BROOKLYN.CUNY.EDU
