On 23rd May 2000 the Nachrichtentechnische Zentrale (NTZ) of the Zentrale Hochschulverwaltung and the Data center merged to the Computing and Communication Center of the RWTH Aachen University. Since then, the current IT Center (formerly the Computing and Communication Center) has been responsible not only for the data network and the services based on it, but also for the telecommunication infrastructure of the RWTH Aachen University, from the network and its connections to the terminal equipment.

Until now, so-called telecommunication applications (TK-applications for short) had to submit analog the application of connections and/or telephones or their relocation. These TK-applications had to be submit by filling out a form, signing it, stamping it, and sending it to the IT-ServiceDesk by internal mail, fax, or scanned by e-mail. Employees then transferred the given data to our system.

As part of the network renewal at RWTH Aachen University, among other things analog telephone connections converted to IP connections. These telephone connections are coupled to the broadband. This change also involves a change of the telephones to pure VoIP (Voice over IP) devices.

While computational power is steadily increasing in modern computing systems due to the rise of multicore and accelerated systems, the relative performance of the memory subsystem is falling further and further behind. In the context of High-Performance Computing (HPC), this can be partially compensated by combining traditional main memory with a small amount of high-bandwidth memory. In systems with accelerators, heterogeneity is already visible due to the presence of different kinds of memory. However, applications must be heavily modified and use vendor-specific application programming interfaces (APIs) to exploit different kind ofs heterogeneous memory.
