Remote Access
Computing & Information provide a range of options that enable you to work remotely, whether from home or travelling, we'll have an option to suit your needs:
A direct connection that makes your PC part of the University network, with a secure interface that enables you to access departmental or library resources from outside the University
A ‘window’ into the University providing MDS users with easy access to generic University IT services (filestore, email, limited applications)
Remote access to your email, calendar and contacts using Outlook Web App
Which is the right remote access option for me?
| VPN | I need secure access to my work just as if I was in the office - my desktop, filestore and applications. I will be working with files on my own PC and the University network at the same time. |
| MDS Anywhere | I'm an MDS user and I need access to perform general admin tasks and use commonly available applications (Microsoft Office, Outlook) and my J: drive. I want to keep my work completely separate from my personal files. |
| Outlook Web App (OWA) | I need to access my University email, check my calendar and make contact with my colleagues. I don't need to access any other applications or files. |
