Hoteling Computer Recommendations
With 自淫系列 looking at a hybrid return to work, some Departments and/or Schools may be looking at 鈥漢oteling鈥� or shared workspaces for staff and faculty.
CCS recommends that whenever possible each employee should be provided with a laptop that would allow them to work remotely and on campus at their current assigned location or at hoteling stations. If it is not possible to provide each employee with a laptop and the employee will be using a personal device at home and a shared desktop in a hoteling setting, the desktops will need to be configured to ensure Employee privacy. It is not recommended to allow staff and faculty to use personally owned devices.
Hoteling - Laptops
Hoteling stations to support staff and faculty with University owned laptops should have the following:
- USB-C or Thunderbolt docking station (some monitors include a docking station)
- One or two monitors (minimum size 27鈥�) connected to the docking station
- Wired keyboard and mouse connected to the docking station
- Wi-Fi network access.
It is recommended that when using a laptop in a hoteling location that the University鈥檚 Wi-Fi network (RUSecure) be used.
Hoteling - Shared Desktops
If a shared computer(s) is(are) being used at hoteling stations when staff and/or faculty do not have a University supplied laptop, the desktop needs to maintain the user鈥檚 expectation of privacy as per the University鈥檚 Privacy Policy. To ensure privacy, the computers will be configured so that a user will not have 鈥淎dministrator鈥� rights on the computer. Users will NOT be able to make changes to the configuration nor install applications.
The hoteling computer stations should have the following:
- Dell OptiPlex desktop computer that is less than 6 years of age.
- One or two monitors (minimum size 27鈥�)
- Wired keyboard and mouse
- Ethernet connection
