Infrastructures

Thanks to the infrastructure of the IT services of the UNIL, we can offer many customised services to our users.

Space of central storage NAS (nas.unil.ch)

A space of storage (NAS) is offered to all members or affiliated members of the FMB departments. The later allows to stock your data safely and is characterized by:

  • daily backups;
  • accessibility to the files from anywhere;
  • high resistance to hardware and software failures;
  • increase of security measures (antivirus, protection again datas lost, ect..);

Data stored on your local drive (i.e. not on the nas) is not backed up.

A unique structure base for the entire Faculty enables an easy et safe exchange of information:
