Department History
In the early 1990s, within the framework of the program of international cooperation on the use of satellite methods for studying bioproductivity based on ocean color data, in order to provide technical support for the SeaWiFS project, the Laboratory of Ocean Optics (headed by O.V. Kopelevich) carried out work to create a network infrastructure and interaction with partners - the Goddard Space Fligth Center (satellite data processing), NASA Internet and Russian Space Science Internet (data exchange) - senior researcher Sviridov S.A. was responsible for IT support of the work.
At the Ocean Optics Laboratory, with the support of the national program for the development of information systems and databases (RFBR), work was carried out to form a communication center and a computing scientific network of the IO RAS with a connection to the Russian Space Scientific Network Internet (RSSI), connecting the Russian scientific community via satellite channels NASA-Internet with the international segment of the Internet. The result of this work was the creation in 1996 of a network group at the Institute of Oceanology, and in 1997 of a new structure - the Information Technology Department, under the leadership of S. Sviridov.
The launch of the node, the first cable network covering all the floors of the Institute, as well as a high-speed optical communication line (HOCL) was made on the day of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Oceanology in early February 1996.
Subsequently, all the basic information resources necessary to ensure the functionality of the network corporate infrastructure of the Institute of Oceanology were formed, including postal and cloud resources and WEB portals - www.sio.rssi.ru and www.ocean.ru.
In 2017, a routing and cybersecurity group, the editorial board of the Journal of Oceanological Research , the IO RAS Publishing House, a group for the processing of scientometric information and other services were formed in the structure of the Department.
Since March 31, 2022, the Information Technology Department has been part of the Center for Information Resources, Technologies and Publishing.
Structure of the Information Technology Department
Structurally, the Information Technology Department consists of two services:
The Network Support Service (headed by Muratov A.V.) was established in 1997 and ensures the functioning and round-the-clock monitoring of the Institute's computer network 24/7/365 days a year;
The Information Systems Support Service (headed by Novikov Yu.V.) was established in 2019, provides software and technical support for administrative and business services, network applications and specialized programs of scientific laboratories, ensures operational events in the conference rooms and classrooms of the Institute.
