Computing

The Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics maintains a local Help Desk that serves the needs of the department.  This includes  computing security, user support, hardware and software support, and policies related to common computing facilities.  For departmental backup purposes, the Help Desk maintains two 75 terabyte backup servers at the Solarium server room and the SIO Colocation Server Facility. A virtualization infrastructure is maintained to support the departmental and research server needs while centralized storage is maintained to host research data and network home directories.  Network connections are gigabit ethernet to the desktop and 10 to 40 Gbps between building and server room switches.  High resolution color printers and plotters are available to all authorized network users. If you have any questions about computing and networking at IGPP, please visit our frequently updated wiki or contact us at the Help Desk.
