The Office of Research Computing (ORC) offers data storage space on the MEMORI system to Mason researchers for open and public data. Storage on this service is provided to researchers on a cost-recover basis at $60 per terabyte per year and is valid for 5 years. Please note that the data is not backed up and researchers must complete and sign a storage Service Level Agreement (SLA) with ORC prior to the storage purchase.
If you are interested in purchasing storage, please submit a ticket to orchelp@gmu.edu to schedule a consultation.
The ORC also manages and maintains the High-Performance Computing (HPC) cluster called “Hopper” and the Openstack for providing GPU virtual desktop interface (VDI) and CPU virtual machines (VMs). Faculty, if you are planning on adding a computer node to the Hopper cluster, please reach out to the ORC team at orchelp@gmu.edu to discuss the specification of the node and also get the estimated cost.
Additional research computing resources are available on the CHSS Research and Scholarship webpage.
