ICT Infrastructure

Introduction

From its very inception, Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology (KFUEIT) is Convinced that, if it wants to achieve its lofty objectives, it would require very strong Information & Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. Provision of state-of-the-art ICT facilities to its faculty, students & administrative staff are the cornerstone for development of Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering & Information Technology. With this in view, we at KFUEIT have perfected an ICT infrastructure design, through which we have implemented all sorts of information systems with ZERO cost for the software component, by leveraging open source technologies. For the hardware and networking components we have implemented solutions with long life and low cost. Additionally, with a minimum number of supporting staff, the deployed IT infrastructure gives KFUEIT, a leading edge over all other universities in the region.

The Campus incorporates cutting-edge ICT technologies to provide triple play services (data, voice and video) to the whole campus. This includes University Data Center, Campus-wide Fiber Optical Network and Wi-Fi mesh for high-speed data connectivity, video conferencing, IP-telephony, IP Fax facility, Smart class rooms and various other interactive features for entire campus. Solutions that we have made operational at KFUEIT for the academia include the technologies of learning management, university management, project management, communication and collaboration, virtual private network, thin client computing and multimedia services. At KFUEIT, our focus is to facilitate the adoption of open source software and technologies, in order to strengthen the technological base of the country and, at the same time, use the less money, thus saved for development of physical infrastructure.
