Included:

  • We support specialized hardware, such as specific GPUs, as part of our configurations
  • We support specialized clustering software (e.g. Hadoop).
  • We can configure and host specialized servers and server configurations for research (e.g. Grouplens web server, PSIdb).
  • We currently support two varieties of Linux: Ubuntu and Scientific Linux. We would support others with a sufficiently compelling justification.

Not Included:

  • We do not provide Linux unmanaged hosts (UMH) via this service. They are available via a different service and with a lower level of support.
  • Any purchases we make will be passed through to your research account.
