Get Conntected
Oct 16
The experimental environment for the Virtual Student Computer Centre (vSCC) has been made available since 1 March 2016. Based on the feedback and comments received from users, we have been fine-tuning the service to meet the needs of different users, as well as to enhance user experience. Let’s check out some service updates.
I bet you have several instant messaging (IM) apps, such as WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, Snapchat, etc. installed on your smartphone. But probably you just use one or two of them primarily. Why would you make such a choice?
WiFi growth is exploding around the world as the adoption of smartphones and tablets becomes so popular among all ages of users. When you walk around the PolyU campus, you can easily find WiFi access points (APs) installed at lecture theatres, classrooms, departmental offices, library, canteens as well as other public areas to provide convenient network connection.
DreamSpark is a program offered by Microsoft to support technical education by providing free access to Microsoft professional-level developer and designer tools for learning, teaching and research purposes. The program has recently been renamed as Microsoft Imagine (MS Imagine) while all service provisions remain the same.
To protect the servers of the University, a new server protection tool, Deep Security, will be installed in all physical and virtual servers hosted in the University Data Centres. Anti-malware and intrusion prevention (IPS) features will be enabled upon installation for enhanced security protection.
Software enables us to accomplish many different tasks with computers. Unfortunately, in order to get work done quickly and conveniently, some people may use illegal software that may put themselves as well as the University’s IT environment at risk.
Same as in the previous years, this year’s Annual Business Continuity Drill (BCD) for the University's central computer systems was scheduled on 1 and 10 October 2016 (National Day and the day following Chung Yeung Festival), to simulate the site failure of the University’s Main Data Centre and Secondary Data Centre respectively.
To accommodate the high user demand during the end-of-semester and examination period, the Student Computer Centre (SCC) will provide 24-hour service with details as below:
