Remote Access
To access KewHPC remotely you'll need to connect to one of two VPN services. They both use the Global Protect client and use your Kew username and password.
For Kew Staff on Kew machines
This is the standard Kew VPN, it will also give access to shared drives and other services located at Kew.
For access contact IT services
For Anyone on non-Kew machines
This VPN only grants access to KewHPC. If you have access to KewHPC at Kew you have access to this VPN too.
For access contact Matt Clarke
