The EWS labs currently include more than 350 workstations and serve over 10,000 users. The mission of EWS is to provide a high performance and highly reliable instructional computing environment for the students and faculty of the College of Engineering.
Effective October 14, 2009, we no longer require inbound off campus connections to the remlnx environment to use the CITES VPN. Welcome to the Fall 2009 Semester! We have made a number of changes to our Linux remote access service that enhance security and conserve energy. We now have several high-powered dedicated remote servers that you may access via SSH, X-forwarding, or NX Client by connecting to remlnx.ews.illinois.edu. Remote connections to individual lab workstations are no longer permitted, and all Linux lab computers will be shutdown at night when the labs close. Please see Connecting Remotely for more details. If you have connected previously via NX Client, please note that the hostname has changed from remlnx.ews.uiuc.edu to remlnx.ews.illinois.edu. You will need to update your NX Client configuration to reflect these changes. Please see NX Client Configuration for instructions. Student home directory quotas have increased from 1GB to 2GB. As always, e-mail manager@ews.illinois.edu with any questions you have regarding EWS. Have a great semester! |
