SCI Services

Terminals and terminal rooms

Via one of the over 80 Terminals, which are exclusively available to computer science students, you can log on to our server clusters at any time.

Remote connection: "anytime from everywhere"

With a remote connection you can access most of our systems and services anytime from anywhere via the Internet.
There are numerous access combinations available to you.

Server-Cluster

As an SCI user*in you have access to our high-performance Server-Cluster via our terminals and via remote access from your own computers.

In total, up to one terabyte of RAM and hundreds of processors are at your disposal, with whose support you can solve even the most complex and computationally intensive tasks. By using the latest virtualization technologies, we are able to allocate resources efficiently.

E-Mail and storage space

Every computer science student receives an unlimited valid email adress and several gigabytes storage space, to manage and store all study-relevant data.

Print service

As a computer science student you have a free monthly printing quota. You can send your documents directly to a terminal room printer or to our printer pool. For the management and administration of our print service we use the Linux version of Papercut. Whether directly from an application or via a web frontend, you can print your documents from anywhere at any time.

Software on the server systems

On our server systems we offer various Linux-versions from which you can choose.

Depending on the wishes of the teachers of the department, the systems are also configured in such a way that they can be perfectly adapted are cut. A time consuming configuration of your private system is not necessary, so that you can start directly with the solution of your actual task. If a program should be missing, simply contact us or write a email. In most cases the program will be integrated into our software inventory immediately.

Development and hosting and web applications

We host and maintain over 50 websites of the department. Furthermore we develop and operate numerous web services, such as
