Central OS X Systems

The Physics IT Department now offers support for over 180 OS X systems within the Physics Department.

Benefits of having your OS X system maintained by IT support includes:

Offsite backup of data via Time Machine to a server room in Begbroke for desktop systems.
Software preconfigured to work in the department and can be installed by the user at any time of the day via the Self Service Application.
IT support requests should be quick to resolve and can also be resolved remotely depending on the issue.
OS and application updates tested and installed automatically onto the systems.
Synchronisation between local user directory on the system and the Physics File Servers via HomeSync
Remote Access to the systems via either VNC or SSH.
Centralised login using the same username and passwords as the email system.
Transparent access to the central IT services (printing, user file space, email .etc)
Setting up and configuring the system is automatic, saving users time and effort.
