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 NAS allows you to store your data safely and is characterized by:

  • incremental daily backups;
  • accessibility to the files from anywhere;
  • high resistance to hardware and software failures;
  • increase of security measures (antivirus, protection again loss of data, etc.).

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

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

Folder Explanation
\FBM This folder constitutes the root and contains one folder for each department.
\COMMON This folder contains interdepartmental work files created on request with the Local IT Manager of the department.
\DEPARTEMENT Every departmental folder is only accessible to the members of the concerned department. The folder is named after the department’s official abbreviation. For example: DPT, EM, DEC, etc.
\GROUPS This folder offers the groups a logical and comprehensible work space. It enables members to easily exchange data and is accessible to all members of the concerned department.
\RESEARCH Ce dossier recense tous les groupes/unités de recherche du département
\PI Ce dossier nommé avec l'abréviation du PI (Principal Investigator) est un répertoire permettant aux membres du groupe de recherche de structurer les données de recherche du laboratoire.
\PRIVATE Seul les membres du groupe de recherche ont accès à ce dossier en lecture et écriture
\PUBLIC L'ensemble du département a accès à ce dossier en lecture et écriture
\USERS Every user is granted a folder named after its UNIL username.

You can access the NAS through two distinct addresses:

  • \\nas.unil.ch\FBM
  • \\nas.unil.ch\DEPARTEMENT (for example: DPT, DEE, DBMV, etc.)

  • reservation system of rooms and scientific setups (FBM Calendar);
  • loan system of IT resources available in the departments (FBM loan system);

Sharing of printing services (fbmprint.unil.ch)

To facilitate the printing from a Windows environment, all the printers are shared via a central server.

Document management system (fbmged.unil.ch)

To simplify the administrative work, an Document Management System (DMS) server is used.

Sharing of applications (fbmapp.unil.ch)

An applications server hosts many applications and allows the users to work on the same program at the same time, without having to install them on their computers.
