Rent a virtual server
The URZ offers faculties and institutions of the UL virtualised servers for their own IT services. These can be configured according to requirements in terms of CPU, RAM and hard disk space, etc. Working with virtual machines is almost like having the computer in front of you. However, you do not need to use your own hardware. Most virtual servers realised so far are special web servers that could not be accommodated on the central web server, such as project servers, groupware servers e.g. for Alfresco, institute servers for file service, application provision, learning environments e.g. for special Moodle installations. In addition, there is a whole series of infrastructure servers (authorisation, proxy, etc.) of the URZ, the UB and other institutions, which are now realised as virtual servers.
Security software for workstations
To protect against viruses, the URZ offers all members of the University of Leipzig the opportunity to protect their end devices with anti-virus software. The security software Sophos Antivirus from Sophos is available to members of the UL for this purpose.
Service Desk (First-Level Support)
The service desk of the Leipzig University Computer Centre (URZ) is the central contact point for all enquiries concerning the services offered by the URZ. Thus, the service desk acts as a link between the users and the specialist departments of the URZ. Enquiries that cannot be answered conclusively immediately are recorded in the service desk and forwarded to the respective specialist departments of the URZ and answered by them.
