DISCOVERY is the on-prem general-purpose high-performance computing cluster (HPC). Research-focused DISCOVERY HPC is PHI compliant for both analysis and storage and a future compliance target environment of NIST 800-171. The cluster is managed by the JH Research IT (RIT) group in collaboration with Cloud & Virtualization Services, and JH Engineering Services.
DISCOVERY resources are free through FY25 with a subsidized cost model forthcoming.
Upon the request submission, a member of Research IT will contact you by email in 1 to 2 business days. Following initial contact, a dedicated meeting to your request will occur within 3 to 5 business days depending on both party’s availability.
