INTRODUCTION New EMail System: The Computer and Communication Centre of IIT Guwahati IIT Guwahati was having its own on-premises Emailing is the central computing resource pool of the institute. The facility, but due to the ever changing hardware technology Computer and Communication Centre is responsible for: and also the involvement of huge amount of fund in procurement and annual maintenance of Storage and x Providing Email service and Internet connectivity to the institute Servers, it was decided that we migrate our Email System to cloud. Detailed survey was carried out and it was found x Catering to the general purpose as well as high that Microsoft Offi ce 365 was providing 50 GB email storage computational need of the users along with access to a host of other applications including x Maintenance of the campus network 1TB storage on Onedrive. Finally, after approval, we migrated our on-premises Email System to Microsoft Offi ce 365 on x Hosting and maintenance of Institute’s web pages cloud and currently we have approximately 23000 email x Providing EPABX services accounts including IIT Guwahati alumni. x Providing Offi ce Automation services Large Format Display and Information Kiosk: The centre has procured Large Format Display for The Computer and Communication Centre has been involved in development of several in-house software administrative monitoring diff erent devices like Data Center packages. It is also providing assistance to other academic PDU status, UPS status, Traffi c analysis of proxy servers and institute of north-east region of India. The centre also network bandwidth statistics along with for displaying of conducts summer training to facilitate external students many other highlights to the users from time to time. from various institutes of the region. It has also procured two numbers of Information Kiosk for The computer lab of the centre is equipped with PCs with allowing users to check / view their account details, apply the latest confi gurations to facilitate the need of the IITG new user account for email, proxy and computational server, community. The lab remains open for 16 hours in a day apply for No Dues etc. which is accessible to all authorized users of the Institute. Video Conference Device & CCTV: Additionally, this year the lab was opened for 24 hrs during mid and end semester examinations.
