The group provides support for shared network disk space and backup, various Internet communication and collaboration protocols, and application and print servers. It maintains domain name services for the /17 RFC 1918 IP allocation assigned to the Lerner Research Institute by the Cleveland Clinic Information Technology Division and administers the lerner.ad.cchs.net subdomain of Cleveland Clinic’s Active Directory forest. The Desktop group provides custom support of the scientific computing workstations across the Macintosh and Windows platforms. The Windows Server team specializes in supporting the Windows Server environment, including domain controller, file, and print, and application services, and Windows and Unix backup. In cooperation with Unix and Desktop support, the Windows Server Team works to provide a collaborative cross-platform computing environment. Unix workstations and servers currently participate in a unified computing structure supported by a dedicated Unix administration team.
