AG DSN

Today we heared with dismay about the death of our honorary member Eberhard Mittag. With his passing, we lose far too early a long-time pioneer of the Dresden Student Network and a central driver in the expansion of the network in Dresdens student residences. For many years, Eberhard Mittag, as an IT contributor of the Studentenwerk, was committed to a close and cooperative collaboration with the AG DSN. He thus enabled a continuity in our work that would not have been possible without his foresight, his extraordinary support and, last but not least, his impressive networking.

Even after his retirement, he always remained loyal to the AG DSN through his commitment, as a supporter and also as a welcome guest. We will miss him all the more with his manifold ideas and his humor.

Our deepest sympathy goes to his family and relatives.

On behalf of the entire AG DSN, the board of the AG DSN

Thanks to recent upgrades made by the ZIH, our uplink was upgraded to two redundant 10 Gigabit connections. This is 200x faster than the common household DSL connection. Until now, we were connected with 10 Gigabit and 4 Gigabit backup to the network of TU Dresden. Thanks to this upgrade, a good connection to the university network and the internet is secured for the future, the old 10 Gigabit connections load regularly was up to 80%

We would like to thank the ZIH for providing the connection to the university network and the good cooperation.
