Our students and staff, past, present, and future, are the beating heart of our city and can be found in every corner of every industry and community. We couldn’t exist anywhere else and have shaped the city in which we belong. Working with the people of Liverpool to improve lives and support communities is at the heart of why we were founded and why we exist today.

The University has long recognised the importance of IT as a core component of the day-to-day running of its business. Thanks to a high level of ongoing investment, it can proudly boast some of the latest enterprise scale systems. The centralised IT Services department supports the University’s distributed computing facilities; providing in excess of 6000 desktop PCs and 1500 laptops running over 550 applications all of which are accessible both on and off campus, allowing study, work, and research to be done anywhere at any time.

Our state-of-the-art computing facilities combine latest Windows Server and RedHat Linux systems with leading cloud technologies to provide a fully resilient infrastructure, distributed between two geographically separate data centres, Microsoft Azure, and other cloud providers. This sophisticated infrastructure provides the IT required for modern, hybrid working practices supporting the administration of the University, its Teaching and Learning activities, and its extensive research projects.
