  • Cloud Solutions

    // Run your Cloud computing is ideal for running flexible, scalable applications on demand, in periodic bursts, or for fixed periods of time. UVA Research Computing works alongside researchers to design and run research applications and datasets into Amazon Web Services, the leader among public cloud vendors. This means that server, storage, and database needs do not have to be estimated or purchased beforehand – they can be scaled larger and smaller with your needs, or programmed to scale dynamically with your application.
    Service Oriented Architecture A key advantage of the cloud is that for many services you do not need to build or maintain the servers that support the service – you simply use it.

  • Cloud Storage Solutions

    Amazon Web Services Tiered object storage Amazon S3 and Glacier offer cloud-based, affordable, unlimited capacity for storage from anywhere. Advanced features include scalability, lifecycle management, encryption, and sharing. S3 is ideal for static files that need to be retrieved from any location (PDFs, images, video, etc.). Glacier is archival storage, perfect for grant compliance that reqires data retention. How RC can help: Lower pricing - UVA has an Internet2 discount available for educational use. Contact us to create an account for you or your research project. Cost estimates - Cloud storage is not free. Consideration should be made to the size of your files and how often they will be retrieved.
  • Computing Systems

    UVA Research Computing can help you find the right system for your computational workloads. From supercomputers to HIPAA secure systems to cloud-based deployments with advanced infrastructure, various systems are available to researchers.

  • Transfer Files Using Amazon S3

    Setup You will need to install and configure the awscli package in order to access objects in S3.
    Install the AWS CLI The AWS CLI is available through the pip/pip3 installer:
    If you have administrator privileges type
    pip install awscli $('#copybtn746819532').click(function(){ var $temp = $(""); $(“body”).append($temp); $temp.val($('#746819532').text()).select(); document.execCommand(“copy”); $temp.remove(); var $this = $(this); $(this).fadeOut(200); $(this).delay(2000); $(this).fadeIn(200); }); Otherwise use
    pip install –user awscli $('#copybtn731682945').click(function(){ var $temp = $(""); $(“body”).append($temp); $temp.val($('#731682945').text()).select(); document.execCommand(“copy”); $temp.remove(); var $this = $(this); $(this).fadeOut(200); $(this).delay(2000); $(this).fadeIn(200); }); The project is open source, so you can also download the source at https://github.
