The Technical Services IT team provide the core networks connecting us to the national network JANet (www.ja.net) and other commercial networks ensuring our University, whichever location, is connected to the rest of the world. We also run the University data centres where we run the platforms on which University IT applications and services run and we provide and maintain the tools and services that keep the University running day-to-day.
