MIT Cloud Accounts

IS&T manages MIT's enterprise agreements with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and Microsoft Azure. By obtaining and managing accounts for these cloud computing platforms through IS&T, MIT community members simplify their billing while gaining access to a higher level of technical support than is otherwise available to individual customers. The MIT Cloud Accounts portal provides community members with an easy way to request and manage AWS, GCP, and Azure accounts, while providing helpful reporting on billing and usage.

Touchstone Authentication

MIT Touchstone is the Institute's  single sign-on (SSO) web authentication service that allows members of the MIT community to log in to participating MIT and federated websites and applications using their MIT Kerberos credentials. When using a Touchstone-enabled application, your credentials are never passed to the application service.

New in 2024: IS&T has launched a new version of Touchstone, now powered by Okta Identity Engine, a modern, cloud-based and extensible platform.

Server Co-location

IS&T Data Centers provide MIT departments, labs, and centers (DLCs) an environmentally secure location for housing your servers and related equipment. Your servers will be provided with rack space, power, cooling, and network connectivity.

win.mit.edu Windows Domain

win.mit.edu is an IS&T centrally-maintained Microsoft Windows domain intended for general use by all of MIT. It provides a common set of services, data, and tools. Many aspects and features within this domain are customizable by participating Departments, Labs, and Centers (DLCs) and, in certain cases, individual users.

Managed Servers

IS&T provides a full service operation for departments, labs, and centers (DLCs) who require system administration and management for web servers and small databases. IS&T does not provide research computing solutions through the Managed Server program.
