When you talk to Ewan, he says something about giving you access to the archives. To see what's in the archives, go around the left side of the room to the blue computer monitor.
If you go along the right side of the room, you'll find yourself in the back room, which is full of computer servers. Go ahead and poke around; there's not much to do here now, but there will be later.
Hint 4
In particular, notice the odd tartan displays in each bay, the temperature control at the back left bay, the main computer in the near right bay, and the firewall controls at the entrance to the back room.
Hint 5
Confusing? Never mind; I'll explain it in detail when you need it.
