Network & Infrastructure
Services Team
Mission
Provide day-to-day operations, management and development
of the MIT network and enterprise-wide computing infrastructure.
The team works closely with the Assistant Provost for Academic
Computing and the Director of Office Computing to provide a functional
and solid foundation of technology in a diverse, open and challenging
network and computing environment. The team leaders are members
of the IT Architecture Group to guide technological directions,
review projects that impact the infrastructure and help set policy.
The group relies on the Computing Help Desk for providing customers
with support, triage and first tier problem resolution and utilizes
the Projects/Network Installation and Repair team for facility
management, construction, installations & repair of the campus
network connections and wireless access points.
Network and Computing Infrastructure
The Network Team runs a number of services which are supported
by the Computing
HelpDesk. The main services provided by the team include
internal and external network connectivity, network registration,
email and email lists, and a number of central web services.
Please consult 3-DOWN for
scheduled maintenance and service outages.
