Professional and innovative

We don’t just rely on complex computer resources or develop infrastructure. We work with researchers and technology providers to explore technologies as a means of evaluating their uses and developing innovative IT services for research and science. This allows us to provide our user community with sound advice.

Cooperative and diverse

We believe in diversity in our teams: Having many different points of view often raises more questions and therefore contributes to more universal ideas. This makes LRZ resilient and future-proof. That is why we prioritise the development of innovative technologies by working in partnerships and take part in international research projects.

Secure and reliable

The services, computer resources and storage capacities of LRZ need to be reliable and secure. That is why we regularly instruct external companies to audit and certify our work and processes. We want to continuously learn and improve LRZ and its services.

Open and efficient

IT needs to remain sustainable. That is why the LRZ procures its energy from renewable sources and develops strategies for resource-saving operation. Openness supports sustainability here: because open-source software is available to everyone and can be customised to suit individual requirements.
