Who We Are
We are a team of dedicated information technology professionals who play a vital role in supporting the University of Nebraska’s mission‑critical operations. Our work forms the foundation for all communication, teaching, research, and administrative computing activities across the NU System.
What We Do
Infrastructure Services delivers and supports a broad portfolio of essential technologies, including university networks, systems, servers, storage, data centers, cloud hosting, and communication and collaboration tools.
We also operate Network Nebraska, the state’s research and education network that provides affordable, high‑bandwidth connectivity to Nebraska’s K–20 ecosystem.
How We Align
Our team partners closely with stakeholders across the NU System—as well as regional and national collaborators—to understand evolving needs and deliver reliable, cost‑effective, and scalable solutions. We also work hand‑in‑hand with the State of Nebraska OCIO in providing and advancing Network Nebraska services.
