Academic Servers and HPC Clusters

Overview

Information Services centrally hosts hundreds of servers in two data centers on campus in order to meet the technology distribution needs of the University.  This includes everything from managing the operating systems for robust and secure operation to the electrical and air-cooling needed for the physical requirements. 

For scholarship and research computing, there are 22 hosted servers and High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters (a group of several individual servers) that support research and teaching needs from business classes that involve database management to atmospheric computational modeling.
