About Computer Center of I-Shou University

    The Computing Center of I-Shou University (CCISU) was established in August 1993. The CCISU is responsible for providing a comprehensive set of supportive services and resources to the faculty, staff, and students, allowing them to effectively and efficiently use campus computing and networking resources to have better working and learning environments and to play the various roles they perform within the University.

    CCISU provides seven computer classrooms and supportive computer labs for the use of all the ISU students, faculty and staff. All seven classrooms are available through prior reservation for ISU courses. Also, one advanced distance learning classroom (ADLC) uses a variety of modern communication tools to deliver high-quality courses and various programs to students of various universities in Kaohsiung County. The delivery system for ADLC, taught by ISU faculty, is through videotape, interactive videoconferencing technology, over the distance, or a combination of these technologies.

    The CCISU also maintains several servers, which are accessible from anywhere on campus. These servers provide a wide range of software and services such as e-mail, newsgroups, web pages, proxy agents, ftp sites, programming tools and other network-relative functions to members of the ISU community. The campus network consists of the fiber optic based Giga-bit backbone networks in each ISU building on campus (including four dormitories). The campus network interconnects every computer workstation to the campus local area networks and computer systems as well as to the outside world via the TANet network, which is a part of the worldwide internet network. These networks allow logins, file transfers, electronic mail, NetNews, and World Wide Web service to any computer connected to the campus network. A variety of hardwares are used to keep the campus network backbone and its various subnets functional, including high-speed routers, multi-layer switches, L3 switches, L2 switches, loading-balance and bandwidth management machines, firewalls, dial-up servers, and so on throughout the campus. In addition to the campus networking, CCISU develops and maintains a variety of systems used to provide special services such as student course registration system, course grading system, purchase and ordering system, accounting system…. etc. In the future, the Computing Center will strive to continue improving both the quality and quantity of its services to the user community, on issues such as
  1. Promoting the facilities and qualities of computer teaching.
  2. Extending the range and quality of the campus Network.
  3. Enhancing consulting services and the quality of the Administrative Computing System.
