Campus Community,

Planning out Fall courses and need a computer lab for your students with advanced software? Instead of a room full of machines, consider a Virtual Lab.

SJSU IT’s Virtual Labs feature desktops and applications hosted by a remote service over the internet. This allows students, faculty, and researchers to access certain labs or software at any time, from anywhere, reducing the need to be on campus to access a computer lab. Plus, deploying a virtual lab is faster and cheaper than a traditional physical lab.

If you think a Virtual Lab would be a good fit for your instructional needs, Submit a Request Form. An SJSU IT staff member will reach out to you and get the process started.

Thank you, Tristan Orlino, SJSU IT Senior Identity and Security Administrator, for supporting Virtual Labs for our university and providing this tip. And thank you T.G. Tran, Senior Systems Analyst Lead with College of Engineering, for contributing to this tip. As always, the SJSU IT Service Desk is here to help by phone at (408) 924-1530 or online.

Thanks,

Campus Community,

Want to accelerate your big data, AI, or Machine Learning research and power past computation roadblocks?

Here’s a tip for you: SJSU IT has collaborated with the College of Engineering and College of Science to build a robust High Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure to accelerate research. SJSU IT has a dedicated HPC administrator to support you – spend more time building data models and less time troubleshooting. If you’re interested in accessing HPC resources for your research, simply Open a Help Ticket and enter “HPC” as your reason for submitting. We’ll work with you to design a solution that meets your HPC needs.

Advanced research is already happening on campus thanks to the power of HPC, including the Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center’s wildfire science data and modeling. HPC supports some of the most compute- and memory-intensive programs developed today, and it might be able to accelerate your work, too. See what HPC can do for you – submit a ticket today.

Thank you, Tien Tran, our HPC administrator, and Keith Nowosielski, IT Systems Specialist, for managing HPC environments and providing this tip to campus. As always, the SJSU IT Service Desk is here to help by phone at (408) 924-1530 or online.

Campus Community,

Managing guest WiFi networks every time you visit another university or community college adds one more barrier to collaborating with research partners, scouting grad schools, or visiting and colleagues. Here’s a tip to make your life easier: Because SJSU is part of eduroam, you can use your SJSU login and password to join WiFi at thousands of higher education institutions around the world.

Eduroam is an international roaming service that has thousands of participating universities, libraries, and other learning institutions, including over 2,000 participating networks across the United States, with many throughout the SF Bay Area and California. Students, faculty, and staff can connect to a secure network in many major cities worldwide using their SJSU login with eduroam.

Use this interactive map to find eduroam networks, either where you are or where you’re going. To navigate the map, select the continent, then region, then zoom to the location where you want to look. When connecting to eduroam WiFi, select the network named “eduroam” and use your SJSU email address and password to login – simple!

Thank you Rong Wang, our Network Analyst, for supporting our campus community and providing these tips. As always, the SJSU IT Service Desk is here to help by phone at (408) 924-1530 or online.
