The campus network

All buildings on campus at Zielona Street are fully networked and connected to the university backbone by a gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) links. The backbone utilises 3km of multi-mode and single mode fibre optic cable. Our internal networking is a mix of 100BaseT and gigabit Ethernet. The number of users of these facilities is about 7,000. The centralised file servers utilise RAID technology and currently offer over 4.1 TB storage space.

Currently labs are equipped with 285 desktop computers available for use by students, faculty, and staff. CD ROM drives are installed on many of the PCs, some also have sound systems with headphones, scanner and b/w laser printers.

Open access computer labs in C007 and C130 are open to all WSB-NLU students, faculty, and staff. During academic year labs are open 8am - 10pm (Mon-Fri) and 8am - 8pm (Sat & Sun).

All facilities are free, except printing. Documents can be printed on high-quality laser printer. It is available for a fee (currently 0.20 zloty per page) to cover consumables (paper, toner cartridges, and maintenance of the printers).

A full complement of high-quality commercial software (as well as many popular free and shareware products) is available on every computer in the labs. Commercial software offerings include word processors, database and spreadsheet applications, mathematics and statistics applications, illustration and desktop publishing software, and much more.
All PCs are set up with a standard interface that allows students and staff to use machines and easily find the programs and files they need. Also, all computers at WSB-NLU are connected to the campus network (and the Internet) and can be used for reading news and e-mail, browsing the World Wide Web, downloading files, and accessing networked instructional courseware.
