The Computer Centre manages the Computer
Network of NCAER. We have successfully implemented state-of-the-art solutions
for e-mailing, internet access, and a network backup system.
The Centre is equipped with high-end servers, including four dual-processor IBM
PC Server 330, a Netfinity1000, a four-way-SMP IBM RS-6000/F50 Server, and an
HP-9000/715 server connected to the network.
|
| The Computer Centre thus plays a critical role
in managing the information technology requirements of a large, knowledge-based
research organisation like NCAER.
|
 |
| |
| IT Upgradation was made possible with financial assistance
from the World Bank under it's TA programme, funded through ICICI and a grant
from the International Development Research Centre(IDRC) on IT Upgradation.
|
|
| The Computer Centre's responsibilities include:
|
|
| |
| |
 |
Data Processing: To facilitate
the faster input of data collected from surveys, NCAER has an automatic data
scanning system which allows information to be transferred to the computer
directly from filled-in questionnaires.
|
|
Data Warehousing: NCAER has installed one
RS-6000/F-50, a four-way-SMP Unix Server for its Data Warehousing applications.
|
|
IT Training: Overall IT skill updating is
an important activity at NCAER, including topics such as Unix, HTML
Programming, MS Project, and advanced training on Microsoft Networking.
|
|
Preserving Project Related Databases and Maintaining a
Backup System: The Computer Centre is responsible for maintaining
the databases of all completed projects.Backup of any of the client machines
installed throughout the LAN can be taken regularly from the server present at
the Computer Centre or on CD using our CD-Writer.

|
|
| |
| We have installed econometric software such as:
GAMS, SHAZAM, STATA, E-views, Micro-Fit, GAMEPACK, and the following databases:
Prowess, Vans Com, and India Trade. We have installed a data scanning system
using Teleform Elite 5.4. Two networked accounting software have been
implemented for Financial Accounting and Payroll System. |
