Research Computing Is Part of the Academic Computing Enterprise

Wednesday, February 12, 2014 | 2:30PM–3:30PM | Oregon Ballroom Salon EF
Session Type: Professional Development
What does "research computing" mean at your institution? Are servers still stuck in closets or is sensitive data stored on desktop drives? Do advanced research computing groups stay at arm's length from IT? Does IT stay at arm's length from research computing? Or, do researchers actively engage central IT on important projects? Join us to discuss how central IT expertise can benefit from and engage grant-funded projects and provide scalable systems in support of academic research, as well as how cloud services can and will change this process based on our experiences with central IT and research computing at Portland State University and Oregon State University.
