Node Purchasing or Leasing

Long Term Storage

Why Purchase Resources?

Mana is free to use for all students, faculty and staff at any of the campuses in the University of Hawaii system.

While a significant amount of work can be completed using free community resources, some researchers may find that they need more storage or dedicated resources to run longer jobs than the community nodes allow or they find the wait times for community resources to significantly impede their research.

Faculty and staff can purchase or lease compute nodes to power their research and select a long term storage solution for their data.

 

Purchase or Lease a Node

We offer computational resources that fit the needs of your research. Gain exclusive access to compute nodes that are at your disposal through a condo node purchase or lease nodes for a time period of your choice.

 

Condo Nodes

Due to supply chain issues, condo node purchases will not be available until Fall 2023.

Long Term Storage

Long term storage is currently available on a limited basis, storage size will be approved based on available capacity.

Accelerate your research and store your data on the cluster for faster access.

Long Term Storage (LTS) is a Network Attached Storage (NAS) system that can be leased by UH faculty and staff. Contracts are typically for a one year period, but longer contracts can be made.

 

STORAGE SIZE	TIME PERIOD	PRICE
1 TB(2 TB minimum order)	1 year	$20 per TB*
