Hosted solutions are provided to researchers looking to run applications as well as set up databases, servers, or websites. ERIS provides Discovery Informatics Platform for Research (DIPR), a flexible, secure cloud computing infrastructure designed to meet research needs. DIPR Virtual Machines (VMs) offer IT power and services to research customers without placing the burden of purchasing or managing server hardware on the researcher.
ERIS is able to assist customers who have detailed or unique technical specifications that may not fit the standard DIPR VM offering. Through the Research Computing Core, we offer Systems Development & Consulting expertise at competitive hourly rates.
