Hardware Purchase

Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP) has partnered with select hardware vendors to offer discounted hardware in several configurations. These machines are available for individual or departmental purchase for University use. Some of these configurations are also available as nodes in RCAC-maintained Community Clusters, offering faculty and researchers enormous benefits over operating this equipment themselves. For more information on RCAC Community Clusters, please see our Community Cluster Overiew.

ITaP is now offering a purchase program for high-performance scratch disk space. For more information about scratch storage, please see our Storage Overview.

Individual / Departmental Purchase Options

Individual faculty and researchers may purchase discounted equipment through RCAC for University use. Specific configurations and prices are available here.

• Scratch Storage
• HP Hardware Purchase

Community Cluster Purchase Options

Faculty and researchers may purchase nodes in an RCAC-maintained Community Cluster. RCAC Community Clusters offer peace of mind, lower overhead, and are more cost-effective than operating computational resources yourself.

• RCAC is currently planning a large new Community Cluster named Coates for spring 2009.
