Infrastructure Support

John Scoville, Executive Director

A robust network infrastructure is essential for instruction and administration in higher education to accomplish these objectives:

• enhance the teaching and learning experience
• connect researchers to libraries and technology
• facilitate improved network management
• improve campus communications
• reduce costs and improve business administration processes

By working cooperatively with the institutions, the University System Office, and other OIIT teams, Infrastructure Support provides critical, ongoing support for PeachNet^®, the common operating systems (OS) in the University System of Georgia (USG), OIIT’s workstations, and the USG data center.

• PeachNet^® is the robust statewide network that connects all institutions to each other, the Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS), GALILEO, the Internet, Internet2, and other mission-critical resources for instruction, research, service, and administration.

• Infrastructure Support maintains the robust network and supports standardized operating systems.

• Infrastructure Support also is responsible for the USG data center and OIIT’s Athens workstations.
