AN OUTSTANDING COMPUTER NETWORK
VIT University campus boasts of one of the best computing networks
in India. With constant upgradation in a bid to provide the students
and staff with state-of-the art facilities, the Institute has earned
a reputation of excellence across a range of computer-based
disciplines. Its comprehensive infrastructure includes 79 Servers,
223 Workstations, 4124 Desktops (Intel & AMD), 298 Printers and
over 1305 Laptops (Dell, HP, IBM & Lenovo).
The highly distributed computing environment at VIT University uses cutting-edge computer simulation to solve problems for industry and academia. It is managed, and actively supported, by the Centre for Technical Support (CTS) that has strength of 30 highly qualified and experienced technicians. CTS is responsible for maintaining and administrating University Website and Mail Servers. Internet facilities are provided throughout the campus through 127 Mbps leased lines from multiple service providers. Content Delivery Network (CDN) Technology is used to access websites. The University provides its own Email IDs to all its employees and Students.
VIT has invested in an ultra high-speed Fibre Optic Backbone for networking across the campus. CISCO 4506 Core Switch with redundancy is used at the core layer. CISCO 3560G and 2960G switches are used at distribution and access layer. Wireless connectivity is provided at strategic locations to provide Internet access to the faculty.
It includes Blade Server consisting of seven Xeon servers from IBM with 1TB of FastT600 Storage, IBM p5 with AIX OS, SUN Servers, SUN FIRE 4100, SUN FIRE V20Z, SUN FIRE 240 & SUN W110Z Workstations.
VIT has WatchGuard Peak 8000 , 1000 series Firewall and Iornport WSA650 for Internet Security. TREND MICRO Office scan provides Desktop Antivirus solutions and two storage Boxes (NAS3700, EXN2000) with a capacity of 2TB each to meet the storage requirements for all users.
VIT is the first Institute in India to implement People Soft ERP System with all the modules. The hardware solution for this consists of two IBM p55A Cluster Servers with Virtualization, 2 TB of DS4700 Storage Server and TS3100 Auto Loader for external backup with IBM Tivoli Storage Manager. VIT provides internet facility for the Hostel Students through WIFI.
CTS provides technical support to the schools and to a number of research groups within the schools on LINUX, AIX, SOLARIS and WINDOWS OS platforms.
COMPUTING CENTERS
T.S.Santhanam
Computing Centre (TSSCC)
The principal goal of TSCC provided with 210 IBM desktops is to provide computing facilities for academic and research activities in the School of Computer Science.
The hallmark of the Centre's research is its balanced consideration of technological capability and human utility. It consistently strives for excellence, relevance and social purpose. At this lab, students can work on Oracle, DB2, .NET, Rational Rose, Borland (Caliber RM, Starteam 2005, Together Solo Ver6.2), J2SDK, J2ME Wireless Toolkit 2.2, Websphere, Tomcat WebServer, Apache, Netbeans 5.0, ASP, JSP and Perl.
Centre of Excellence for CISCO Advanced Networking
This is a sophisticated networking lab, where students are trained in network administration, configuration, network programming, wireless and security. This lab is mainly used for M.Tech. networking. It contains routers, switches, firewalls and security software. A network simulator and other networking tools are also available in the CISCO lab. The infrastructure meets the requirements of CCNA, CCNP, PIX Firewall and Wireless curriculum of CISCO.
The Red Hat Linux Competency Centre
VIT has signed an MoU with Redhat India to establish a centre of excellence at VIT with Redhat products installed in the lab. The centre is equipped with 70 IBM P4 computers installed with Redhat Linux Operating System to train students on open source software. Students can make use of these centres to develop applications on Open Source technologies like PHP, Python, TCI, PERL, MySQL and Postgre SQL.
The Programming Language Laboratory - Hexagon Computing Centre
The Hexagon computing laboratory consists of 198 P4 computers spread across three labs. Here, students work in high level programming languages such as C, C++, VB, VC++, Java and COBOL.
Multimedia and Internet Programming Laboratory (MMI)
Equipped with 35 Intelli Workstations from IBM, the lab is specifically used for multimedia programming. It focuses on training students in multimedia tools like Adobe Premiere, Adobe Photoshop, Macromedia Flash, Sound Forge and Maya to develop related applications. Specific multimedia hardware kits are used for multimedia programming and demonstration.
RDBMS Laboratory
Information retrieval using the Internet, knowledge discovery and financial prediction are applications of common interest in an enterprise system. The RDBMS lab has more than 70 P4 computers. Multimedia, image and video databases and geographic information systems are some of the fields actively pursued in this lab. Students design and develop database projects on DB2, ORACLE AND SQL Server 2000.
Microsoft.NET Centre
This advanced computing laboratory trains students in collaboration with Microsoft, on Microsoft products and middleware technologies such as VB.Net and ASP.Net 70 P4 computer systems have been installed for training.
SUN Advanced Java Laboratory
In collaboration with Sun Microsystems, VIT has an Advanced Java Programming centre. The primary goal of this lab is to train students in advanced Java technologies such as J2EE (Servlets, Beans), JSF, J2ME for mobile kit utilities and Struts. The lab consists of P4 computers, with software from Sun Microsystems.
IBM Websphere Laboratory
The IBM Websphere lab has been installed in collaboration with IBM to provide students with hands-on experience in state-of-the-art web-based programming tools such as PB2, IBM webshere and the AIX Operating System on 70 P4 computers.
Software Engineering Laboratory
The objective of the Software Engineering lab is to familiarize students with the software development lifecycle, so that they are trained well in the various phases of SDLC, test tools and CASE tools. Students are trained in IBM Rational Rose, Test Runner, Silk Runner, CASE tools, Rational Suite for testing, SVC and Smart Draw.
All Schools and Research Centers have their own computing facilities supported with special software given below:
