Today, technology is everywhere, and nowhere more so
than within the science and engineering community. Scientists
and engineers increasingly rely on the availability
of globally accessible information “cyberinfrastructure”
to drive research and education. Cyberinfrastructure
provides a broad and useful spectrum of integrated technologies
to support increasingly complex, large-scale and cooperative
scientific endeavors.
Most science and engineering users work from a “home”
research laboratory, academic department, or local environment.
When a research project’s technological needs
outgrows the capabilities of their home environment,
cyberinfrastructure can “extend the reach”
of the scientist by providing needed databases, computation,
and other resources remotely.
SDSC provides an integrated set of software, services,
and environments including:
- An internationally renowned data management environment
as well as leadership-class storage technologies
- A broad spectrum of software tools, portals, workbenches,
and packages integrated to develop and deploy complex
applications
- Help users get the most out of high-performance
computing
- A range of collaboration vehicles
- An Advanced Cyberinfrastructure Laboratory, which
provides an environment for designing, developing,
and testing software and hardware systems at scale.
- The SDSC/Cal-IT2 Synthesis Center, which enables
cross-project fertilization and leverage of common
software architectures and technologies
- User support 24-hours a day, 7 days a week
- Strategic Application Collaborations and Strategic
Community Collaborations to help users and communities
maximize the potential of available infrastructure
to achieve the best results
- The Synthesis Center, Advanced Cyberinfrastructure
Laboratory as well as access to high-end data and
computational facilities
- New and continuing training
