IT Services Group
The IT Services Group (ISG) in the Department of Physics is the central contact point for all concerns revolving around IT.
We manage the central servers of D-PHYS: e-mail, file, backup, web servers, together with the computer room for exercises. We're happy to assist with any IT-related questions. Procurement and coordination of the local IT infrastructure happens within the institutes. Our website features a blog with announcements and information for our users, an extensive documentation, and links to the online services of the department.
