Fields of Responsibility
SYSTEM COMPLIANCE AND SECURITY
For scientific work today, the data access and communication services provided by computer networks are essential. However, computers attached to a network – particularly the worldwide Internet – are exposed to a wide range of security threats. Providing network services is a balancing act between open access and security. With a focus on operating the PIK computer network in a secure manner, and for protecting the user's valuable data, the IT-Services Team provides in-depth security and expert knowledge across all system platforms at PIK.

WORKSTATION COMPUTERS - PROVISION AND MANAGEMENT
Workstation computer management is the management service of all scientific workstations, office computers, notebook computers and public workplaces provided by the Information Technology services group to the scientists at PIK. It encompasses the entire life cycle of all workstation computers, from the specification of standards and the provision of appropriate hard- and software, through the replacement by computer systems of the next generation. Workstation computer management also includes configuration management for hard- and software, security management, and a user help desk. Read more... [PDF, 8.2MB] [Article, text only]

This application service is built on the concept of server based computing, which separates the entire application logic from the presentation on the user's desktop. Through remote access to the application server cluster, mobile and remote users have access to applications and services at PIK. Read more... [PDF, 40KB] [Article, text only]
