Computing Services is working on a coordinated plan to make Office 2000 available campus-wide during the calendar year 2000. Sun Platforms Support Microsoft Office Documents. The Division of Engineering Computing is offering StarOffice, an integrated suite of programs for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and other office productivity tools. Running on a Sun Unix platform, StarOffice includes powerful document filters that provide seamless and easy interoperability with Microsoft Office products. Access can be made to existing Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files, as well as data to create spreadsheets, presentations, documents and more.
Researchers can request additional space as needed.
The Division of Engineering Computing has an additional computation server available for use by NJIT researchers. An additional 9 GB of RAM is anticipated soon. Access is limited to faculty and graduate students for research computing. Faculty and staff that have an Internet Service Provider at home may connect to the NJIT network by using Virtual Private Network software, which provides access to restricted resources available only on campus.
