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
