Rensselaer’s computing capabilities have taken a "quantum leap" with the July installation of an IBM 3033 computer, according to James Moss, director of computing services.
Moss said that the new computer is 10 times more powerful in terms of processing ability than the old IBM 360/67 computer it replaced.
Rensselaer is currently waiting on bids from eight contractors to design plans for the transformation of the former chapel into a new computing center to house the IBM 3033 computer and its peripherals.
