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

Durch Umbauten am Netzwerk des ZIH konnte unser Uplink an das Universitätsnetz auf zwei reduntante 10 Gigabit-Verbindungen ausgebaut werden. Das ist 200x schneller, als der übliche DSL-Anschluss. Bisher waren wir mit einer 10 Gigabit-Leitung sowie einer 4 Gigabit-Backupleitung an das Netzwerk der TU Dresden angeschlossen. Dadurch ist eine gute Anbindung an das Universitätsnetz sowie das Internet auch für die Zukunft gesichert — die alte 10 Gigabit-Verbindung war in letzter Zeit regelmäßig zu 80% ausgelastet.

Wir möchten uns an dieser Stelle auch beim ZIH für die Bereitstellung der Anbindung an das Universitätsnetz sowie die stets gute Zusammenarbeit bedanken.

We will start with our office hour again by opening the office Wundtstraße 5 starting from the 20th of January. The office will be staffed on Thursdays only. The offices Hochschulstraße 50 and Borsbergstraße 34 will remain cloded until further notice.

If you experience any problems, our ticket system and our email support at support@agdsn.de are of course still available. To compensate the cancelled office hours we've set up a support hotline (0351 89670993). We try to be reachable at the best possible rate on Mondays and Thursdays 7-8pm.
