LPU is one of the few Indian universities, which can boast of its state-of-the-art computing resources and network across the campus. It is completely a WiFi campus with more than 1000+ access points of RUCKUS company. Ruckus is the 2nd largest WiFi products company after Cisco.
The powerful Blade Server is used in university data center. A blade server is a stripped down server computer with a modular design optimized to minimize the use of physical space and energy. There are a blade enclosure, which can hold multiple blade server, provides services such as power, networking , various interconnects and management.
There are a lot of Cisco catalyst 6509E core switch to provide the needed scalability and traffic control network.
They are using latest ECC memory chip RAM in their server machines. ECC stands for 'Error Correction codes'. ECC memory chips are predominantly used in servers rather than in client computers. Memory errors are proportional to the amount of RAM in a computer as well as the duration of operation. Since servers typically contain several gigabytes of RAM and are in operation 24 hours in a day, the likelihood of errors cropping up in their memory chips is comparatively high, hence they require ECC memory.
Some other technologies which are using by university:
1. SAN: Storage Area network
2. SAS Harddisk
3. VMware Virtualization
4. Layer 3 Switch
5. Dual Band Access Points
etc
They can provide 500 Mbps of bandwidth for internet with dedicated leased line. There are 6000 + workstations supported by 20 plus Quad Core or Xeon based Rack/Blade and desktop Servers. University is using the IBM system x3200 M3 Express server with the latest Intel Xenon Processor 3400 series.
There are 40 Servers which are most powerful servers from HP/IBM for 100% redundancy and efficient data management. They are using RAID 1 and RAID 5 Technology for backing up the database.

30 Km fibre backbone is used for providing seamless connectivity in whole campus.
