 SoC and NUS campus networks enjoy high-speed Internet access, providing quick and convenient access to global information resources. A VPN gateway provides secure remote access to our network. Mobile computing on campus is a breeze thanks to pervasive Wireless LAN access and convenient wired Ethernet connections for plug-and-play network access. SoC and NUS campus networks enjoy high-speed Internet access, providing quick and convenient access to global information resources.

 SoC operates three [[:cf:facilities:cr:start|Computer Rooms]]. These are server hosting facilities which are largely similar to data centres. They feature redundant power, cooling, fire protection, remote monitoring, and other hosting capabilities. These factilities are use to host equipment to support our central IT services, including network, storage, compute, and other hardware. Our researchers may also use these facilities to host their research computing servers. SoC operates three [[:cf:facilities:cr:start|Computer Rooms]].
