This applies particularly to the server environment (such as storage and backup) , the network including the external links on the X-WIN, central services such as e-mail (including virus and spam protection), FTP, WWW, fax, etc. as well as the public computer room and the public printer infrastructure. IOW employees are assisted in issues or questions regarding hard- or software procurement.
