Welcome to the IT-GIGA Wiki


The aim of this website is to provide concise information on IT resources available to GIGA members
and help them to get started with both PC and GIGA’s high performance computing facilities.



Many GIGA members might just need a small storage space and a running standard computer :
They got DoX which is a cloud storage (synchronized with a defined space on the user's computer), owned by ULiège and which is backuped every night.

Others, like the ones working in genomics or imaging platforms, would require more space and/or processing power for their datas :
Huge storage and high throughtput computing infrastructures are available.

But that's not all :
Are also provided several tools and/or web-platforms, a backuping system for big datas, as well as How-to's and on-demand training sessions.


Is also provided an IT Policy where all those informations are written down formally.



What do i need to know


Depending on "who you are", "what you do", "how you work", etc. are available several informations.

Those being :

  • I am at GIGA (Local use of a computer) :
How to use a computer inside GIGA
  • I am outside GIGA (Secured remote connection) :
How to use a computer outside GIGA
  • I need to store non-scientific data, OR i don't handle big datasets, and back it up (DoX / Cloud storage) :
How to handle non-scientific data
  • I need to store huge scientific data (Mass Storage) :
How to store scientific data
  • I need to backup scientific data (Tapes Library) :
How the backuping system works
  • I need to process scientific data (Grid computing / High throughput processing) :
How to process big scientific data
  • I need to share scientific data with people outside ULiège (DoX alternative / Mass Storage mount) :
How to share data with non-ULiège
