IT Resources

The DBI IT group provides assistance to DBI community. Our services stretch beyond support of your desktop and laptop computers.

    • BIOMIX – DBI’s shared computing cluster is named BIOMIX (formerly BIOHEN). Computing on BIOMIX is available to the DBI community without  charge. However, please consider contributing hardware to BIOMIX or funds to purchase hardware. It is crucial to renew hardware every  3 years to keep  relevant. More about BIOMIX and its resources can be found here.
    • Server Hosting – We host a number of servers. In addition to hosting, we provide system administration of hosted servers, if needed. In some cases, there is no charge associated with these services although this is dependent on project scope.
    • Web site hosting and development – DBI’s web servers host a variety of web sites for DBI community.
    • Storage Space – Computer storage space is an issue for many given the size of genomic data. We offer disk space on DBI’s central storage server.
    • Desktop/laptop support – We provide support for desktop and laptop computers at DBI. We cannot provide such support for computers from home.
    • OWL 360 Degree Meeting Camera – We have an OWL Labs camera that is available for use upon request. It is a 360 degree meeting room camera that has built in voice and video tracking.
