Welcome

The aim of this website is to provide GIGA members concise information on what is provided to them but also 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) :

• I need to backup scientific data (Tapes Library) :
