The PCs in these facilities are connected to our local area network, giving them access to the Internet, as well as file and print services. The technology classrooms are available for student use when they are not reserved. Contact TIS for availability of PC-based labs and the technology classrooms. TIS periodically purges files from local hard drives. Therefore, personal files and applications must not be stored or installed.
Computer viruses can be a serious problem in any computing environment.
Our computer facilities have virus detection and eradication software installed that unfortunately is not always sufficient. Therefore, students, faculty, and staff must take precautions to protect their data and other systems they use. Workstation Laboratories and Classroom Rensselaer at Hartford's workstation classroom and laboratory contain the latest workstation technology from Sun Microsystems. Each workstation is configured with 128 MB of memory, a turbographics accelerator, seventeen-inch color monitor, 1.44 MB floppy drive, and 2.1 GB internal hard drive. Each PC has multiple operating systems and a variety of industry standard application software installed.
