The article describes the work on support and development of information infrastructure NRU «MPEI». Information infrastructure have different approaches to the defi nition. The authors defi ne the information infrastructure as a set of basic information services, computing, storage and data transmission systems that provide user access to information resources. New conditions dictate new approaches to building the education system in general and the educational process in each educational institution. NRU «MPEI» working to create a modern information infrastructure, including automated control systems, information resources and services, modular systems disciplines. This article describes the requirements for a modern information infrastructure of the NRU «MPEI», that provides students and teachers with the necessary services. Information infrastructure includes a set of software and hardware to ensure interaction between the participants of the educational process. All services and NRU «MPEI» system included in the unifi ed information educational environment (UIEE). Architecture UIEE NRU «MPEI» is displayed in the article. UIEE NRU «MPEI» is deployed on the basis of information network NRU «MPEI» and enables a comprehensive optimization of university management in various areas. Information and Computing Center supporting information and computer network NRU «MPEI», bought more than 4800 licenses in 43 different license versions of the software manufacturers. The server segment information network NRU «MPEI» contains a complex infrastructure and application servers for processing and storing information.The segment there are 20 high-performance server and storage system capacity of over 30 TB. In the server segment deployed complex systems to meet the needs in the various fi elds of activity NRU «MPEI», and the educational system to support the economic , scientifi c and human complex. Currently, ICC also pays great attention to the development of educational and innovation center, the initiative is aimed at improving the qualifi cations of teaching staff and training of students. For example, SAP technology are in fact the standard of corporate information systems for large enterprises, it is about 49.9% of the worldmarket. Therefore, every year, since 2008, the SAP Training Center - MPEI produces 40-45 graduates to work in energy companies and other industries.The preparation of an engineer is a challenge and a decision it is not possible without the widespread introduction of information and communication technologies in all spheres of activity of the university: teaching, research , management of the various spheres of activity . According to the authors , the use of modern information infrastructure for Engineering Education will allow to solve this problem effectively.
