Abstract
The most suitable system architecture for higher education has been dramatically altered by rapid change in information technology and its use. The low cost of mini‐ and microcomputer technology has not only decentralized academic computing, it has made computing a ubiquitous tool for the student, faculty, and staff community across all disciplines. The microcomputer provides access to substantial computing at low cost, and stimulates distributed investment in computing capacity. However, the radical decentralization of computing in the university has also created substantial liabilities, such as increased difficulty in sharing information and resources. The characteristics of a powerful institution‐wide network, which will overcome existing problems with a decentralized environment, are detailed.
