Bringing Research IT platforms closer to you

03 Nov 2020

The Research Lifecycle Programme and Research IT have now launched the Edge Compute service for research

Research IT

Research IT has run popular and successful centralised platforms for many years, such as the Computational Shared Facility (CSF) and Research Data Storage (RDS, aka Isilon). 

The team have now launched the Edge Compute service, bringing fully supported compute and storage platforms closer to the researchers.

This new service will provide the research community with capabilities for computationally/data intensive work where the use of centrally-hosted platforms is impractical, not appropriate or must be augmented with additional functionality.

More information on this service can be found on the Research Lifecycle Programme (RLP) website below. 

The Edge Compute team will also be hosting a webinar on Thursday 26 November (2:30pm – 3pm), which is open to all to attend. This will cover how the edge compute service can benefit your research, the costs of the service and opportunity for Q&A.
